About Balm of Gilead Health & Wellness
What is Balm of Gilead Health & Wellness?
Balm of Gilead Health & Wellness is a medical wellness practice in Baltimore, Maryland, with a center in Baltimore and telehealth visits for eligible patients. It offers seven services: weight management, women's wellness, men's health, mental wellness, longevity, urgent care, and aesthetics with IV wellness. Weight management has the most detail, under the program name Balm Metabolic™. It says eligible adults may be evaluated for prescription weight-management treatment, including GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, when clinically appropriate.
The one prescriber it names is Dr. Chinwe Okudo, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Google lists the practice under weight loss services with a 4.1 rating from 34 reviews.
What does it cost?
Medical Weight Management is $249 a month or $699 for three months. That covers clinical program access, follow-up, and monitoring. It does not include medication, and labs are separate unless specifically bundled. Higher tiers add more support. Whole-Person Reset is $449 a month or $1,249 for three months, and Concierge Transformation is $749 a month or $2,099 for three months, with more intensive follow-up. Sustain Maintenance is $199 a month for support after active treatment. A one-time stand-alone consultation is $299.
Insurance may cover mostly mental health services and possibly labs, depending on the plan. Self-pay and financing are available through Cherry and CareCredit. Treatment duration varies, and it does not describe how cancellation works.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether Dr. Okudo would be your prescriber, and who signs the prescription if someone else does. A request is not a guarantee. In its own words: "Medication is prescribed only when the clinician determines that it is appropriate following evaluation."
Ask what the medication costs on top of the program fee. Ask whether it is a brand-name drug or a compounded one. Prescriptions may go to a retail, mail-order, or compounding pharmacy, and the clinic notes that compounded medications are not FDA approved.
Ask what labs, follow-up visits, and monitoring cost, and whether labs are required before treatment starts. Ask how cancellation works and whether a monthly plan has a minimum term.
Telehealth is described as available in all 50 states in one place and to eligible patients in Maryland in another, so ask which states apply to weight management. It does not publish a street address, phone number, or opening hours, so ask for those too. It does not describe peptide therapy, so ask directly if that is what you are after.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want clinician-led weight management, you can pay out of pocket or use financing, and you live in Maryland or in another state the clinic confirms for your treatment. Confirm the medication, lab, and cancellation costs before you book.
