What is EmpowerYOU Medical Wellness?
EmpowerYOU Medical Wellness is a weight management practice at 1307 S. Main St. Suite B in Chelsea, MI 48118, 15 miles southwest of Ann Arbor. Dr. Rupal Bhatnagar, DO, founded it and prescribes there. She is a family medicine physician with over 15 years of experience. Weight management is the main work, with medical weight management alongside personalized nutrition, lab and metabolic evaluation, body composition analysis, exercise and movement guidance, menopause and perimenopause support, emotional health, sleep and stress support, and ongoing follow-up.
Medications are offered when medically appropriate. It names Wegovy, Zepbound, phentermine, Qsymia, Contrave and metformin, and others. Visits run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9AM to 2PM, with select Mondays by appointment, and virtual visits are available as needed. Initial visits run 60 to 90 minutes. It has a Google rating of 5 from 4 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, and no consultation fee is stated. In its own words: "Medications are not included in the program price." Insurance is not accepted for the membership, so this is cash pay, although Dr. Bhatnagar will submit lab work, referrals and medications through insurance. Some HSA or FSA accounts may be used, depending on the plan. After the initial consultation, continuing means signing a 12-month agreement, which under its current policy can be canceled at any time. Visits average every 4 weeks in months 1 to 6, then at least every 3 months.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask for the monthly program fee and the consultation fee, since neither is published. Ask whether the program fee covers follow-up visits and repeat body composition analysis, what lab work costs, and whether labs are billed to insurance. Ask whether the medications are brand-name or compounded, because it does not say which. Ask what a medication costs cash, and what insurance would cover once Dr. Bhatnagar submits it. Ask which states virtual visits cover, since that is not stated. Ask whether your HSA or FSA administrator will reimburse membership-style fees, since some plans may not. Finally, ask how to cancel the 12-month agreement and whether any fee applies if you end it early.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a physician to spend long visits on weight, nutrition, sleep and stress, you can pay out of pocket for a 12-month commitment, and you are comfortable with in-person visits in Chelsea or virtual visits as needed. It is worth calling before you book, so you can get the program fee in writing first.
