What is Accent on Women's Health?
Accent on Women's Health is mainly an obstetrics and gynecology practice, an independent private practice that cares for women from the teen years through after menopause. It covers annual GYN exams, pregnancy and delivery care, breastfeeding support, minimally invasive surgery, Pap follow-up and chronic pelvic pain. It has an office in Bethlehem, PA and a satellite office in Phillipsburg, NJ that is reopening soon. Google lists it as an obstetrician-gynecologist with a 3.7 rating from 6 reviews.
Weight management is one of its services. In its own words: "To help with this important problem, we are now offering a Medically supervised weight loss program." Three people are named as prescribers: Howard Horne, MD; Rainie Werner, PA-C; and Lora Steffie, BSN, MSN, CRNP, APN-C, IBCLC, CLC. The weight program names Dr. Horne and Rainie Werner, along with a nurse practitioner, a registered dietitian and a psychologist. It does not offer telehealth.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for the weight program. The cost "varies depending upon the services offered," and insurers may cover some or all of treatment, especially with heart disease, hypertension or diabetes. It does not say whether any price includes medication, and it states no consultation fee. The practice says it accepts most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna (selected programs), Highmark Blue, Horizon NJ Health, Medicare (PA only) and Tricare, and it advises checking your specific plan. It does not mention financing, HSA use, membership terms or cancellation.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the weight-loss prescription and who adjusts the dose as your weight changes. The practice names several FDA-approved options, including phentermine, orlistat, Contrave, Qsymia and Saxenda, but does not say which it prescribes. Ask which one it would start with, and whether the product is brand-name, generic or compounded. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication.
Ask what the first consult, follow-up visits and lab work cost, since additional testing may be recommended. Ask how the program handles pregnancy, since the practice also delivers babies. Ask your insurer whether the program is covered, because coverage varies by provider. Ask how to cancel and whether fees are refunded if you stop early.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you already see an OB/GYN, or you want weight management from the same practice that handles your gynecologic or pregnancy care, and you can come in person. If you need a published price, telehealth, or a named medication before you call, ask those questions first.
