About Be or Become

What is Be or Become?

Be or Become is a primary care practice at 1031 Providence Rd in Whitinsville, MA. Ehab Zekri, FNP, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, leads it and is the only prescriber the clinic names. The practice is accepting new patients and can be reached at (508) 722-4400.

Primary care is the core of the practice. Medical weight management is one of its services, alongside thyroid and hormone care, diabetes management, blood pressure and cholesterol care, physicals, endocrinology and routine vaccinations. The clinic describes its weight program this way: "medically supervised weight loss programs designed around sustainable metabolic health." It does not name the medication used in that program.

Visits can be in person in Whitinsville or by secure telehealth, but telehealth is offered only to Massachusetts residents. The clinic welcomes patients from Northbridge, Uxbridge, Grafton, Millbury, Sutton, Douglas, Mendon, Milford and surrounding Worcester County communities. It has a 5 rating on Google from 17 reviews.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It says self-pay arrangements are available for medical weight loss and wellness consultations, and it asks people to call the Whitinsville office for pricing. It does not say whether medication is included in any price.

It accepts insurance from BCBS, Tufts, Mass General Brigham, Anthem, Fallon, Wellsense, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare and MassHealth. Whether your plan covers weight loss care is a separate question, and the clinic asks patients to call with coverage questions.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription and whether any medication is part of the weight loss plan. If one is, ask which medication it is, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and whether its cost is included in the program price.

Next, ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether your insurance covers any of it. Ask whether the self-pay program is billed monthly or per visit, and how you cancel or pause it. If you plan to use telehealth, ask whether those visits are priced differently from in-person ones.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care provider near Whitinsville who can also help with weight, thyroid or blood pressure, and you are ready to ask about costs before you book. If you need a clinic that posts its prices or names its weight loss medication up front, call first and ask for those details.
