What is Lupo Preventative Medicine?
Lupo Preventative Medicine is a primary care and preventative medicine practice at 7731 North 159th Street in Bennington, NE 68007. Dr. Molly Lupo, an adult nurse practitioner, owns the practice and is the only prescriber named. Her care model blends health and nutrition coaching certifications with lifestyle medicine training. Its service area names Omaha, Bennington, Elkhorn and surrounding areas, and it serves women who want evidence-based weight loss and management. It has a Google rating of 5 from 60 reviews, and Google files it under weight loss service.
Its blog covers Saxenda, Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Rybelsus and Mounjaro, but its listed services are primary care and preventative medicine, and it does not say which of these medications it prescribes. In its own words: "All new patient visits are one hour and all follow-ups are 30 minutes." Between visits, patients message through a secure text portal called Spruce.
What does it cost?
It does not publish a consultation fee, visit rates or a program price. The dollar figures on its pages are a $100 no-show or late cancel fee and a blog post's figure of $1000/month in cash for GLP-1 medication when a plan excludes it.
It participates in most managed care and commercial plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare. Aetna is marked out of network as of January 15, 2025. It advises confirming network status with your own plan. It asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel. Without that notice, the $100 fee is billed, and three no-shows within one year lead to a request to transfer to another practice. It does not say whether any fee includes medication, or whether telehealth visits are offered.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether any medication is prescribed as a brand-name product or compounded. Its blog names brand medications but does not say whether it prescribes compounded versions. Ask whether a program fee, if one applies, includes the medication itself. Ask what the baseline labs and the physical cost, and what a 30-minute follow-up costs.
Ask whether your plan requires prior authorization for the medication, since its blog describes that process. Ask whether Aetna is still out of network, and whether Spruce messaging or any telehealth visit is billed separately.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a one-hour first visit with a nurse practitioner who orders baseline labs and reviews them with you, you live in or near Omaha, Bennington or Elkhorn, and you want written answers on cost before you commit. For fees and medication details, it is worth calling (402) 922-8783 before you book.
