About Reform ABQ

What is Reform ABQ?

Reform ABQ is a nurse practitioner-led primary care clinic at 200 Oak Street NE, Suite 7, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Its Google listing, in the nurse practitioner category, shows a 4.8 rating from 243 reviews. It does not name the provider who prescribes, and it does not say how long it has been open.

Primary care is the core of the practice. Its listed services are adult and pediatric primary care, testosterone replacement, hormone replacement for women, hormone pellets, GLP-1 weight loss, and peptides. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are the weight loss medications it names, and Ipamorelin, BPC-157, AOD-9604, and CJC-1295 are the peptides. It also offers aesthetic services such as Botox and microneedling. Reform ABQ serves patients in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, Santa Fe, and surrounding communities. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The phone number is 505-420-6979.

What does it cost?

In its own words: "Our medical weight loss programs start at $110 per month." It does not say whether that figure includes medication. Its pages note that the monthly cost depends on the treatment plan, the medication chosen, and the dosage, and that the cost may change if the dose changes. Medications are dispensed about every four weeks. For patients on the program, payment is processed automatically on the 5th of each month using the payment method on file.

The weight loss program is self-pay, though insurance may be used for office visits and labs. Reform ABQ says it accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and Presbyterian. If a retail pharmacy fills an FDA-approved medication, coverage depends on the individual plan. It does not publish a consultation fee, prices for primary care or hormone care, or the cost of its Direct Primary Care memberships. It does not describe how to cancel.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will sign your prescription and whether you will see the same provider at follow-up visits. Ask whether the $110 starting price includes medication, and what your full monthly charge would be with it. Ask whether the medication is a brand-name FDA-approved drug filled at a retail pharmacy or a compounded version. The practice notes that compounded medications may be considered for some patients, so ask whether one is being proposed for you and why.

Ask what the first consultation, follow-up visits, and lab work cost, and how much insurance will cover. Ask whether any visits can be done by video, since that is not stated. Ask how cancellation works once monthly billing starts and how much notice it requires. If you are considering peptides, ask what the evaluation involves and what the regulatory status of each one is.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want primary care for yourself or a child in one nurse practitioner-led office, and you are ready to pay cash for the weight loss program once the monthly price, medication cost, and cancellation terms are confirmed in writing. It is a weaker match if you need evening or weekend hours, a published price with medication included, or a named prescriber before you book.
