About NRG Health DPC

What is NRG Health DPC?

NRG Health DPC is a direct primary care practice in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, with a second office listed in Pittsburgh. Dr. Neal R. Garverick, CRNP, a board-certified nurse practitioner, founded the practice after doctoral research on nurse practitioners providing primary care under the direct primary care model. His wife, Dr. Kristine Garverick, CRNP, leads the weight management service and is also a certified medical examiner. Both are prescribers.

DOT physicals are the main service line, including CDL, school bus driver and driver's permit physicals. The practice also offers testosterone replacement, weight loss with GLP-1 medication, Botox for excessive sweating and sleep apnea testing at home. In its own words: "Testosterone Replacement Therapy begins with initial laboratory testing to evaluate your hormone levels and determine if treatment is appropriate." Testosterone treatment is given by injection. The weight program includes GLP-1 medication evaluation and management, nutrition and lifestyle coaching, and telehealth follow-up visits. Google shows a 5 rating from 13 reviews.

This listing is for its Dillsburg office at 6 N Baltimore St.

What does it cost?

The one published price is a $100 monthly medication management fee for testosterone care. This fee covers ongoing monitoring, prescription management and treatment adjustments. It does not say whether the testosterone itself is included. No consultation fee, GLP-1 medication price or monthly price for the weight program is published.

On insurance, laboratory testing and medication for testosterone care are covered in most cases, and the practice will discuss other options for patients without coverage. Nothing is stated about insurance for weight care.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the fee. Ask whether the $100 monthly charge includes the testosterone, or whether medication is billed on top of it. Ask what the consultation costs, what the GLP-1 medication costs each month, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded.

Ask which of the two prescribers would follow your care, and whether telehealth follow-up visits are covered by the fee. Follow-up lab work is typically done every 3 months, so ask what each draw costs. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a notice period.

If you plan to use insurance for weight care, ask which plans are accepted. No office hours are published, so call (717) 366-8447 to confirm them. Ask which office you would visit, since the Pittsburgh location has restricted hours and no full street address published. Finally, confirm you are booking with NRG Health DPC. The weight loss program also uses the name Be Well & Good and a different phone number, 717-851-8887.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care practice that also handles DOT physicals, or testosterone care that begins with lab work and may be covered by insurance. It is also worth a call if you want weight care with telehealth follow-up, as long as you ask for the medication price before you book.
