About New Concept Healthcare

What is New Concept Healthcare?

New Concept Healthcare is a cash-pay practice at 311 Chesnee Hwy Unit B in Gaffney, SC 29341, reachable at (864) 514-3085. Virginia Ivey-Mingione, FNP-C, founded it and is the only person named as a prescriber. She practiced family medicine in Boiling Springs, SC, before opening it. The practice describes its approach as functional medicine and pairs it with primary care visits such as same-day sick visits, annual wellness exams, pediatric care, and men's and women's health screenings.

Beyond primary care, the practice offers weight loss plans, hormone balance therapy using bio-identical hormones, IV hydration and B12 injections, on-site lab testing and supplements, and in-office procedures such as wound care, laceration repair, joint injections and skin tag removal. On weight loss, it says in its own words: "Here at New Concept Healthcare, our weight loss plans are physician-supervised and are tailored specifically to you, your body, your history, your goals." Patients rate it 4.9 on Google from 58 reviews.

What does it cost?

The first consult is $1. The practice does not publish prices for weight loss plans, hormone therapy, IV or B12 treatments, lab work, supplements, or procedures, and it does not say whether medication is included in any program.

New Concept Healthcare does not bill insurance and works on direct pay. It also offers memberships covering monthly check-ups, weight loss help or lab work. No monthly fee, commitment length or cancellation terms are published, so ask for those in writing before you pay anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who supervises the weight loss plan. The practice describes its plans as physician-supervised, but the only prescriber named is Virginia Ivey-Mingione, FNP-C. Ask which physician supervises your care and how often that physician reviews it.

Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication, which medication is used, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what lab panels, follow-up visits and body composition analysis cost. Ask whether follow-up can be done by video, since telehealth is not mentioned. Ask for office hours, which are not published, and whether walk-in visits, which are mentioned, are accepted on the day you plan to come. Finally, ask how a membership is canceled and whether it has a required commitment period.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay practice that handles primary care, weight loss, hormone visits and IV or injection services in one office, and you are willing to get prices and cancellation terms in writing before you book. It may not suit you if you need a named physician as your prescriber, or if you need published prices before you call.
