About Nova Medical Group

What is Nova Medical Group?

Nova Medical Group is a primary care practice in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, at 401 North Bedford Street, serving patients from East Bridgewater and surrounding towns including Abington, Brockton, West Bridgewater, Easton, Taunton and Raynham. It is mainly a family medicine and urgent care office, open seven days a week, that also runs a medical weight loss program and offers hormone replacement therapy. The prescribers listed are Dr. Akash Patel, MD, Dr Kevin Broderick, DO, and Theresa Franey, FNP. The weight loss program uses semaglutide and tirzepatide, and the practice also lists testosterone replacement therapy, menopause care, women's hormone replacement, and peptide therapy among its services, alongside its core primary and urgent care work. It describes its weight loss approach as combining nutrition, exercise, and medication rather than medication alone.

What does it cost?

The initial consultation fee for the weight loss program is given as a range, "typically ranges from $100 to $300," and that fee covers the medical evaluation and history review but not labs, medication, or follow-up visits. Beyond the consultation, Nova Medical Group describes its weight loss programs as "medically intensive and personalized programs" that "usually range from $1,000 to $3,000 or more, depending on the length of the program and the degree of medical supervision required." It does not say whether that program total includes the cost of the medication itself. The practice says it accepts all major PPO and HMO insurance, and separately mentions installment plans and third-party healthcare financing for those paying out of pocket, along with the possibility of sliding scale fees for patients who qualify, though none of these are detailed with numbers.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask directly whether the $1,000 to $3,000 program estimate includes the semaglutide or tirzepatide itself, since that is not stated. Ask what the consultation fee covers if you end up needing labs or a follow-up visit, since those are called out as separate costs. Ask which of the three listed prescribers you'll actually be seeing and whether they are the one signing off on your prescription. If you're hoping to use insurance, ask them to verify your specific plan before you commit, since acceptance of "all major PPO and HMO" coverage doesn't guarantee weight loss drugs or visits are covered the way urgent care might be. And if financing interests you, ask what the actual third-party lender terms are, since the installment and sliding-scale options are described only in general terms.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already want a primary care relationship, somewhere you can get urgent care, annual physicals, and weight loss management under one roof, and you'd rather see a family medicine doctor than a stand-alone weight loss startup. It may be less of a fit if you are looking specifically for a dedicated longevity or peptide-focused practice, since peptide therapy is listed as a service but isn't described in any detail here, and you'll want to ask what that program actually involves before assuming it matches what you've seen advertised elsewhere.
