About QUILL HEALTH Direct Primary Care

What is QUILL HEALTH Direct Primary Care?

QUILL HEALTH Direct Primary Care is a membership primary care practice at Mountain View Professional Plaza, 2851 N. Tenaya Way, Suite 203, Las Vegas, NV 89128. Its main work is direct primary care, which members pay for themselves instead of through insurance. Weight loss is one of its services, alongside a Metabolic Peptide Program and Men's Health Programs.

Dr. Bacala is the prescribing physician, described as a board certified physician. The practice does not say whether Dr. Bacala holds an MD or a DO. The weight loss program uses semaglutide or tirzepatide as once-weekly home injections, with dose changes based on response and side effect coaching. The first consult can be by telemedicine or in person, and secure messaging covers questions in between. In its own words: "You're not handed off to a call center."

Telemedicine serves weight loss patients across the valley, including Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Green Valley, Paradise, Boulder City and Aliante. Medication is picked up at the Tenaya Way office. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and closed on weekends. The phone number is (702) 886-1292.

What does it cost?

The semaglutide program is $550 for 3 months. The tirzepatide program is $750 for 3 months. Each price includes the medication for those 3 months, a starter injection kit and ongoing physician support.

The program is self pay. The practice does not bill insurance, Medicare or Medicaid for it, and you should check with your plan administrator before using an HSA or FSA. A complimentary consultation is offered, but no fee is given for the follow-up visits. Maintenance after the first 3 months has no published price. It depends on which medication and dose you are maintaining, and the practice says it will go over exact costs with you before you continue. Medication prices for the Metabolic Peptide Program are not published. Membership, lab and imaging prices are listed separately. Cancellation terms are not published.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Dr. Bacala holds an MD or a DO, since that is not stated. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the program price covers anything after the first 3 months, and what maintenance costs, so you know that number before the 3 months end. Ask what follow-up visits and labs cost beyond the program price, including labs ordered through VitaFix Optimization Labs. Ask how cancellation and refunds work. If the Metabolic Peptide Program interests you, ask what its medication costs. If you live outside the Las Vegas valley, ask whether telemedicine is available where you live, because the practice does not say which states its telemedicine covers.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are paying cash for weight loss care, live in or near the Las Vegas valley, and are comfortable with most follow-up happening by telemedicine. It is a weaker fit if you need the prescriber's degree, the medication type and the cancellation terms in writing before you pay.
