About Norman Regional Health System

What is Norman Regional Health System?

Norman Regional Health System is a health system based in Norman, Oklahoma, with a hospital and a range of outpatient services. Its medical weight loss program runs from two clinics, one in Norman and one in Moore. It combines FDA-approved medications with lifestyle changes, and before building a plan its providers evaluate medical history, lifestyle, and any metabolic or hormonal imbalances. Google lists the weight loss service at a 4.9 rating from 12 reviews.

Lorene "Nikki" Rodriguez, MD, AAFP, Dipl. ABOM, ABIHM, is listed at the Norman clinic, and Kristy Huynh, DNP, APRN-CNP, is listed at the Moore clinic. The program describes three physicians but names only these two, so ask who else prescribes. The program offers medication-assisted weight loss, medical weight loss appointments, and help managing related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and heart disease. In its own words: "Our weight loss doctors offer personalized weight management appointments to help patients achieve their health and wellness goals." Appointments run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. It does not say whether any visits are by video.

This listing is for its Norman office at 3400 W Tecumseh Rd Suite 205.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for the weight loss program, and it lists no consultation fee. It also does not say whether medication is included in any cost.

It does not say whether insurance is accepted or whether visits are billed to insurance or paid in cash. Banner notices on its pages mention UnitedHealthcare and Aetna, but none of them address weight loss visits. Its price transparency page covers hospital charges, and questions about them go to its patient access advisors at 405-307-2730.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which medications the program uses and whether they are brand-name drugs or compounded versions, since it does not name them. Ask whether the fee includes the medication or bills it separately. Ask what the consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether those are billed to insurance or paid in cash.

Ask which named prescriber will see you and who else can prescribe. Ask whether any visits can be done by video, and how cancellation and rescheduling work. Schedule online or by calling 405-515-5000 to get these answers before you commit.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss care from a physician-led program attached to a hospital system, and you are willing to call for prices before you book. If you need a published price or a video visit before you decide, ask those questions first.
