Primary Health Clinics of Mississippi

About Primary Health Clinics of Mississippi

What is Primary Health Clinics of Mississippi?

Primary Health Clinics of Mississippi is an internal medicine practice for adults, with offices in Newton and Meridian. Most of its work is primary care: diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, COPD and asthma, along with annual wellness exams, physicals and sick visits. Weight management is one of its services, offered through the same physician.

Samuel Olaleye, MD, leads the practice and is the one prescriber named. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. The practice says it has served Central Mississippi for approximately two decades, and Google shows it at 4.7 from 17 reviews.

For weight care, the practice says it starts with a medical evaluation and, when appropriate, laboratory work. It says Dr. Olaleye may prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications when medically appropriate, and it names semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). It also offers The Metabolic Reset™, a structured program run through a partner business, The Skin Parlor™.

This listing is for its Newton office at 191 Northside Dr.

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish a price for weight management, GLP-1 medication or a consultation. It does not say whether medication is included in any monthly fee, and it does not say whether telehealth visits are offered. It says self-pay rates are available for some care but gives no figures. In its own words: "Call for pricing and prior authorization information."

The practice says it accepts most major insurance plans. Annual physicals are listed as covered by most plans once per year, and Medicare wellness visits show a $0 copay for Medicare patients. For weight care, it says coverage varies by plan, and that Medicare covers intensive behavioral therapy for obesity for eligible beneficiaries. The price for The Metabolic Reset is not given.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and what the medication costs if it does not. Ask whether the product is the brand-name drug the practice names or a compounded version. Ask what the first consultation, lab work and follow-up visits cost, and whether each is billed on its own.

Ask how cancellation works for any monthly or program fee, and whether The Metabolic Reset is billed separately from medical visits. Ask whether telehealth is available, and what the Newton hours are, since the clinic does not list them. Ask whether your plan needs prior authorization and who handles it. Call (601) 357-5118 for Newton or (601) 453-5783 for Meridian.

Who is it a good fit for?

This suits someone who wants one physician to manage chronic conditions and weight together, and who will call for a price before committing. It suits less well someone who needs a published price, or a confirmed telehealth option, before booking.
