What is Jumpstart Medical?
Jumpstart Medical is a primary care, urgent care and telemedicine practice at 142-42 Booth Memorial Avenue in Flushing, Queens, NY 11355. Weight loss management is one of its listed services, alongside same-day urgent care, EKG, onsite lab work, surgical clearance, no-fault injury visits, and women's and men's health. It is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, and it offers in-person or telemedicine visits anywhere in New York. Google shows a 4.8 rating from 125 reviews.
For weight loss, the clinic names Dr. Shalena Islam, MD, as the prescriber of its GLP-1 medications, and it describes her as board-certified in internal medicine. The medications it names are Ozempic (semaglutide), Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide). In its own words: "Medically supervised programs including GLP-1 medications and dietary counseling". The program also covers meal planning, activity guidance, progress monitoring and lab work, and follow-ups can be done by telehealth. Its men's health services include testosterone replacement therapy for men with confirmed low levels and symptoms, given by injection, gel or pellet.
This listing is for its Flushing office at 142-42 Booth Memorial Ave.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee and no figure for the weight loss program, and it does not say whether GLP-1 medication is included in any price. It names MetroPlus, Healthfirst, Medicare and Medicaid as accepted insurance, and it asks patients to call to verify other plans. It lists self-pay among the ways to pay, but it does not say whether it takes HSA funds or offers financing. No-fault visits are billed directly to no-fault insurance, and these visits are stated to cost the patient nothing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes each prescription, and get a price for the first evaluation, each follow-up and the lab work. Ask whether the medication is included in any monthly or program fee. Ask whether the Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound you would receive is the brand-name product or a compounded version, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether your plan covers the specific medication, whether prior authorization carries a charge, and what happens if coverage is denied. Ask how cancellation and refunds work, because no membership terms are published. If testosterone therapy interests you, ask whether it is prescribed in the office, what blood work is required, and what follow-up costs. Call (917) 932-2315 and get the answers in writing before the first visit.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live in Queens or can do telehealth visits from elsewhere in New York, you want a physician-led weight loss program, and you are ready to ask about cost before you book. GLP-1 medications are described as generally appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 and up with a weight-related condition such as diabetes or hypertension. If your numbers fall outside that range, or you want a plan without medication, ask how the clinic would build your program.
