What is LVPG Bariatric Medicine-Vine Street?
LVPG Bariatric Medicine-Vine Street is a bariatric and weight-management office at 149 N Vine Street in Hazleton, PA 18201-5852. It is part of Lehigh Valley Health Network, which is part of Jefferson Health. Its service list includes bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve and gastric bypass), medical weight management, nutrition, and weight loss and management. The program it describes most fully is physician-monitored. In its own words: "Our physician-monitored weight-loss program includes:" The listed parts are an initial examination, diet and nutritional counseling, behavior modification, weight-loss medication, and maintenance support. The office does not name a prescriber, and it does not name the weight-loss medication it uses.
The office is open Wednesday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and Thursday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. It is closed the rest of the week. The phone number is (570) 501-4306. The office has a video visit link, but it does not say whether the weight-loss program can be done by video. The network says it is accredited as a Level 1 facility by the Bariatric Surgery Center Network Accreditation Program of the American College of Surgeons. That accreditation is listed for the network as a whole. Google shows a rating of 5 from one review.
This listing is for its Hazleton office at 149 N Vine Street.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for this office. It lists no consultation fee, and it does not say whether the weight-loss medication is included in any program price. It also does not describe membership terms or how cancellation works.
The network has contracts with many insurance plans, and its accepted-insurance list is broken out by hospital location. This office is not named on that list, so call before you book to confirm whether your plan applies here.
If you are paying without insurance, you have a right to a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of non-emergency care, including prescription drugs. Ask for it in writing at least one business day before the service. The network also offers price quotes for tests and procedures. Its financial assistance department can be reached at 484-884-0840, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with who prescribes. Ask who writes the weight-loss prescription, whether that person sees you in person, and who monitors you between visits. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, which drug it is, and whether it is a brand-name product or a compounded one. Ask what the initial exam, follow-up visits, and lab work cost, and whether those are billed separately.
If you are considering surgery, ask whether the consultation and any procedure happen at this office or are referred to the network's Weight Management Center. Ask whether the program can be done by video, whether your insurance is accepted at this location, and how to cancel. Find out whether there is a membership term or a required notice period.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a weight-loss program tied to a hospital network, with bariatric surgery among its services, and you can attend in person on a Wednesday or Thursday during business hours. It is a weaker fit if you need evening or weekend visits, or if you want to see the full price before you book.
