About North Brookfield Primary Care

What is North Brookfield Primary Care?

North Brookfield Primary Care is a primary care practice at 163 N. Main Street, Suite B, North Brookfield, MA 01535. The phone number is 508-926-7300. It describes itself as nurse-practitioner owned and nurse-led. Its prescribers are Laura Black, DNP, FNP-C, and Jennifer Para.

Primary care is the main work. Two of its services match the treatments you may be looking into: menopause care, which includes hormonal therapies, and weight management, which may include medication-assisted weight loss. It does not list peptide or longevity services. In its own words: "We offer individualized care plans based on your goals, symptoms, and health history, with options that include hormonal therapies, non-hormonal medications, and lifestyle-based strategies." The weight program may also include nutrition counseling, lifestyle coaching, and close clinical follow-up. The medications are not named.

It also offers home visits for patients who cannot get to a clinic, including physical exams, labs, and medication management. Office hours are Monday to Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., in person or virtual. Virtual appointments are also available Fridays and evenings by request. It has a Google rating of 4 from 4 reviews. It does not say how many years it has been open.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It also does not say whether any medication is included in a price. The practice accepts insurance and lists a range of plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Tufts, MassHealth, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, and Medicare, with three more marked as coming soon. If you call, it offers to check whether your plan is in network. Cash pay, financing, and HSA use are not mentioned. The practice describes its care as designed to feel like concierge medicine, but it gives no price for that. If your plan does not cover what you want, ask for the full cash price in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber would write your prescription and manage your medication, and how often you would see them. Ask whether a hormone therapy or weight-loss medication is brand-name or compounded, and which medication it would be. Ask whether the medication is included in any fee, and what the consultation, each follow-up visit, and lab work cost without insurance. Ask whether your plan covers weight-loss medication. Ask how you cancel or stop, and whether there is a membership or contract. If you want a home visit, ask what it costs and whether your insurance pays for it. Ask how long the wait is for a first appointment. The practice says most new patient visits are scheduled within 4 to 6 weeks of receiving completed paperwork.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are 14 or older, want primary care and menopause or weight care from one practice, and can come to North Brookfield or book a virtual visit. It is not the right fit if you are looking for peptide or longevity medicine, since the practice does not list either.
