Weight loss is one of its services, run as the AMS Rapid Weight Loss Center. The office is not accepting new patients at this location, so call before you plan around it. The providers listed are Steven E. Freeman, M.D. PhD; Samantha Hollis, D.O.; Angie Bell, FNP-BC; Ellen C. Young, PA-C; Megan Bennett, FNP-BC; and Daniela Player, PA-C. In its own words: "Our program is medically supervised by Dr. Steven Freeman and individualized for you." Hormone therapy and peptide therapy are not listed among its services.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for the weight loss program, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, and it does not name the weight loss medication it uses. It also does not say whether insurance covers the weight loss program.
It accepts insurance, including Medicare, many Medicare Advantage plans, and plans such as Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Tricare for Life and United Healthcare. Office services are paid when they are provided, by Visa, MasterCard or Discover. You are responsible for deductibles and copayments at the time of service.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes and signs the prescription for the weight loss medication, and whether that is Dr. Freeman or another provider. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the first visit costs, what each follow-up costs, and what lab work is required and whether it is billed separately.
Ask whether the Easley office can see new patients now, and whether telehealth visits are offered. Ask whether hormone therapy or peptide therapy is available, since neither is listed. Ask how you cancel and whether the program requires a set term. Get the answers in writing before you pay anything.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live near Easley, can visit the office in person, and want a practice that accepts insurance and has a physician supervising its weight loss program. Call first if you need published prices, a telehealth visit, or a new-patient appointment soon.
