About MSI Integrative Healthcare

What is MSI Integrative Healthcare?

MSI Integrative Healthcare is mainly a chiropractic and physical therapy practice with offices in Bel Air and Overlea, Maryland. It was formerly called Maryland Spine Institute. Its core services are chiropractic care, spinal decompression, cold laser, shockwave therapy, physical therapy and on-site x-rays. Google lists it as a chiropractor, with a 5 star rating from 452 reviews.

Medical weight loss is one of several medical services it offers, alongside trigger point injections, joint injections and nutritional consultations. In its own words: "Patients under the care of our nurse practitioners benefit from thorough medical examinations." It does not name who prescribes. Its weight loss program is an HCG program, and it names HCG as the medication. The program is described for Bel Air and Overlea, with towns such as White Marsh, Perry Hall and Kingsville nearby. It does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine.

This listing is for its Bel Air office at 1131 Baltimore Pike Ste 202.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for the weight loss program, and it does not list a consultation fee. It does not say whether the program is paid in cash, whether insurance is accepted, or whether the HCG is included in any fee. It mentions financing, but gives no figures for weight loss. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask who writes the prescription, whether that person is a physician or a nurse practitioner, and whether you will meet them at your first visit. No prescriber is named for weight loss, so this comes first.

Then ask about the medication. Does the fee include the HCG, or is it billed separately? Is the HCG a brand-name product or a compounded one, and which pharmacy fills it? In its own words: "Each patient must be teachable an adhere to strict guidelines." Ask what those guidelines are and what happens if you fall out of step with them.

Ask about the rest of the bill. What do visits, lab work and follow-up cost? Does the clinic offer telehealth, or must you come in person? The program is described for both towns, but the clinic does not say which office has the prescriber, so ask which office would handle your care. For Bel Air, call (410) 877-8077. For Overlea, call (410) 882-8955.

Finally, ask how to cancel. Is there a membership or a minimum number of visits, and is any payment refundable?

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already want chiropractic or physical therapy care for pain and would like weight loss handled in the same office. Go in ready to confirm who prescribes and what the medication costs before you pay. If you want a dedicated weight loss clinic, or hormone or peptide care, this practice does not list those services.
