About OVYVO Medical Weight Loss

What is OVYVO Medical Weight Loss?

OVYVO Medical Weight Loss is a physician-led practice with offices in Harrisburg and Blakely, Pennsylvania. Weight loss is its main business, and it also offers telemedicine visits for patients anywhere in the state. It lists seven services. Two are its care programs, Integrated Care and Fast-Track Care. The others are Medically Assisted Weight Loss, Diet & Nutrition Counseling, Exercise & Lifestyle Modifications, Weight Loss Counseling & Support, and Lipo-Mino with Carnitine Injections. The medications it names are Ozempic®, Wegovy® and Zepbound®, which are FDA-approved GLP-1 medicines. It also offers compounded medications, which it says are prescribed only when FDA-approved options are unavailable or unsuitable.

OVYVO does not name who writes the prescriptions, and it does not publish a street address or office hours. It describes its team as having "more than thirty years of combined experience in weight management and primary care." Its Google rating is 4.9 from 255 reviews. Its own disclosure also says compounded versions have not been reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety or efficacy, which is worth knowing before you agree to one.

This listing is for its Harrisburg office at 2200 Dover Rd.

What does it cost?

Integrated Care starts with an initial visit at $95, which covers a review of labs, EKG, health history, goals and treatment options. Ongoing care is $125 a month, or as low as $112.50 a month when prepaid. That includes monthly visits, virtual or in-person, plus support between visits. Medication is extra.

Fast-Track Care is $75 a month plus medication. It is self-pay only and uses a questionnaire in place of a face-to-face visit. It is for patients using a single weight loss medication. Compounded GLP-1s start at $99 a month, based on dose.

OVYVO says visits, memberships and medications are billed separately, and it promises no hidden fees and no lock-ins. It does not say whether insurance is accepted for visits. It also notes that prior authorization and medication management fees may apply in some cases. It does not describe cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and what credentials that person holds, since no prescriber is named. Ask whether any monthly fee includes medication, because the program fees do not. Ask whether each medication is brand-name or compounded and what each costs per month, since both are offered. Ask what triggers the prior authorization and medication management fees and what they cost. Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost after the initial visit. Ask how to cancel a monthly plan and how much notice is required. If you plan to use insurance for any visit, ask whether it is accepted. If you may need more than one medication, ask about that too, because Fast-Track covers a single medication and combinations require Integrated Care.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are paying cash for weight loss care, want the choice of in-person or virtual visits, and are willing to confirm the prescriber, medication costs and cancellation terms before you book. It may not suit you if you need insurance billing or a named prescriber before you commit.
