What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight loss visits, medication or a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee. It accepts most insurance plans, excluding Michigan Medicaid plans, but it does not say whether insurance covers weight loss visits. Copays and coinsurance are due at time of service. Payment plans are available through the billing office at (248) 625-9511. Online payment is by Visa, Mastercard or Discover.
The published fees are a no-show fee of $25.00 for a second no-show or later, or $30.00 for a physical, $25.00 per special letter from a provider, and $25.00 to complete forms such as disability forms. It does not publish a membership plan or a cash-pay package.
What should you ask before you book?
It does not list general office hours, only same-day appointments, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. No main phone number is shown, only the billing office line. Same-day visits can be booked by phone or online through MyChart.
Ask which medications Dr. Elmokdad prescribes, since the clinic does not name them. Ask whether each one is brand-name or compounded, and whether any fee you pay covers the medication itself. Ask what the consultation costs, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost each month. Ask whether your plan covers weight loss visits, and who writes your prescription and sees you at follow-up. Finally, ask how you cancel or stop, and whether you sign any term.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss care from a board-certified obesity medicine physician, inside a general primary care practice that takes most insurance, and you live near Clarkston. Get the medication, fees and insurance answers before you book, and if they are clear, it is worth a call.
