About CONCI

What is CONCI?

CONCI, also called Central Ohio Nutrition Center Inc., is a medical weight loss clinic with offices in Gahanna, Columbus, Westerville and Grove City. It was established in 1979 by Columbus, Ohio, physicians, and weight loss is its main work.

In its own words: "Our programs are medically supervised by board-certified obesity physicians utilizing a combination of nutritionally complete meal replacement products, appropriate medications, and nutrition education." Its team includes MDs, NPs and RDNs. Services are medical monitoring, health and lifestyle counseling, full and partial meal replacement plans, GLP-1 anti-obesity medications, and ongoing nutrition education. The medications named are semaglutide, tirzepatide and OPTIFAST, a meal replacement product.

The program has five steps: a free orientation, a physical assessment, an active weight loss phase, a transition phase, and a weight management program. Telehealth is currently limited. On Google, the clinic is rated 5 from 5 reviews.

This listing is for its Gahanna office at 648 Taylor Road.

What does it cost?

CONCI does not publish prices. Cost varies from person to person based on insurance coverage, and figures are given at the free orientation. In its own words: "We can provide more details about expenses in a complimentary orientation session."

It accepts insurance. Most of its medical services are covered, but coverage depends on your insurance provider and personal health information. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee. It does not mention HSA use, financing, membership terms or cancellation terms, and it does not list its hours.

What should you ask before you book?

Who writes the prescription? No individual prescriber is named, only the team of MDs, NPs and RDNs. Ask for the name and credentials of the person who would prescribe for you before you pay anything.

Does the program fee include the medication? Get the answer in writing, along with the total you would pay each month.

Are the GLP-1 medications brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills them? The clinic names semaglutide and tirzepatide but does not say where the supply comes from.

What do the physical assessment, lab work and follow-up visits cost? Ask whether they are billed to insurance or paid out of pocket.

Can follow-up visits be done by video or phone? Telehealth is currently limited, so ask what is available now.

How do you cancel, and is anything owed afterward? Ask before you sign.

Which office would you attend, and what are its hours? Call (614) 864-7225 to ask, since hours are not listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person medical weight loss care at one of its central Ohio offices and you are comfortable getting prices, prescriber details and medication terms in writing before you commit. If you need a firm price or video visits first, wait until you have them in writing.
