What is Children's Nebraska?
Children's Nebraska is a hospital and specialty care organization for children, with locations in Omaha and Lincoln. Its main work is pediatric care, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral health and emergency medicine. Weight & Wellness is one of its specialties, a program for children and their families that the clinic describes as medical weight management.
The program covers bariatric surgery, medical care, medication management, behavioral healthcare, nutrition and physical activity. It does not name a specific weight loss medication or a prescriber for the program. It has a 4.7 rating on Google from 54 reviews.
This listing is for its Plattsmouth office at 1938 US-34.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for Weight & Wellness, including a consultation fee, a monthly charge or the cost of any medication. Its price transparency page lists hospital standard charges and offers price estimates, which take at least 5 business days. You can call 402.955.5410 to request one. Charges from providers not affiliated with Children's Nebraska are billed separately by their own offices.
The clinic works with insurance, Medicaid and Medicare, and says it works with families to lower out-of-pocket costs. Nothing is stated about HSA use, financing, membership terms or cancellation.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the referral. Your child needs one from their pediatrician before the program will contact you, so ask the pediatrician to send it. The provider referral page lists BMI thresholds, above the 85th percentile with co-morbidities or above the 95th percentile alone. Ask whether your child meets them.
Ask who prescribes, since no prescriber is named for the program. Ask whether medication is part of the plan, and if so, whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether any fee covers medication, and what visits, follow-up and lab work cost, and whether insurance is billed for them. Ask whether telehealth is available. Clinic hours are not listed for this program, so call 402.955.4080 for Omaha or 402.955.8770 for Lincoln. Ask how to end the program if you stop.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if your child's pediatrician is willing to refer, your child meets the program's criteria, and you want a children's hospital program that works with insurance. It is not a fit if you are an adult looking for a cash-pay weight loss program, because the program is for children.
