What is University Health Primary Care Weight Management?
University Health Primary Care Weight Management is a weight-management clinic run by University Health, a hospital system in Kansas City, Missouri. It is at 2301 Charlotte Street, UH 3, Ground Floor, Kansas City, MO 64108, and the phone number is 816.404.4633. Its services are internal medicine, telehealth and weight management, and visits can be in person or by telehealth. It is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4:30 pm.
Its team includes board-certified weight-loss doctors, several advanced practice providers and a registered dietitian. The clinic does not name the person who will prescribe for you, so ask before you book. Its plan starts with a full medical evaluation, which may include metabolic testing or body composition analysis. From there the plan can include medical nutrition therapy, behavioral health support and weight-loss medication, though the clinic does not name the specific medications. It does not perform bariatric surgery, but it can refer you to a Bariatric Centers of Excellence program and help you prepare for one.
In its own words: "At University Health, you'll find your partners in weight loss."
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. University Health explains its hospital charges in general terms and notes that charges for most physician services are not included in those charges. Nothing published says whether insurance is accepted, whether there is a monthly fee, or whether weight-loss medication is part of any cost. Ask for a written estimate before your first visit.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the referral. The clinic asks that your primary care physician or another medical provider send a referral before you schedule, so ask whether you need one and who sends it. Ask who will write your prescription, and whether that is the doctor you will see. Ask which weight-loss medication they would use and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what any price covers, and whether it includes the medication, the clinic visits, lab work and follow-up appointments. Ask whether telehealth visits cost the same as in-person visits. Ask whether the clinic accepts your insurance, and how you cancel or stop if you change your mind.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you have a primary care physician or medical provider who can send a referral, and you want a medical weight-loss plan with a dietitian inside a hospital system. The clinic works with people whose body mass index is above 27. If you need a published price before you book, call first.
