What is Biogenesis Medical and Wellness Center?
Biogenesis Medical and Wellness Center is a cash-pay practice at 1000 E. Rutherford St. in Landrum, South Carolina. The phone number is (864) 457-4141. The prescriber listed is Dr. Amber Passini (Hendricks), MD, who is called the medical director. Dr. Passini is also CEO of M&M Labs, a nutraceutical company, so ask about that if supplements come up.
Most of the practice is medical weight loss and hormone replacement. It also offers fatigue care, food sensitivity testing and gut-immune support, gut health and microbiome balance, IVs and nutrition, and mental and emotional health. Peptide and longevity services are not among them. The weight loss program is built around GLP-1 medications, semaglutide or tirzepatide as appropriate, and starts with a 12-week commitment. Hormone replacement is described as personalized, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Passini has been helping patients lose weight for almost 20 years. Google rates the practice 4.4 from 14 reviews.
What does it cost?
Biogenesis does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, program price, visit fee or hormone therapy price. The weight loss program begins with a 12-week commitment that can be extended, and it does not say whether the medication is included in that price.
It works on a cash-pay basis. In its own words: "We do not bill insurance directly." It provides itemized receipts you can submit to your insurer, but it cannot guarantee coverage. It is not enrolled with Medicare. It does not say whether it accepts HSA funds or offers financing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask for the full 12-week program price in writing, and whether the medication is included or billed separately. Ask whether the GLP-1 medication is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask who signs each prescription, and whether anyone other than Dr. Passini sees patients.
Ask what the consultation costs, and what follow-up visits, lab work and dose adjustments cost after that. Standard follow-ups run 30 minutes, with 45 and 60 minute visits also available, so ask the price of each. Ask whether you can stop before 12 weeks and what you would still owe.
If you are considering hormone therapy, ask which hormones are used, which labs come first, and how often they are repeated. IV treatment requires meeting a provider and becoming established first, even if you were treated elsewhere, so ask what that first visit costs. Ask whether telehealth is available, since that is not stated. Because hours are limited to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8:30 to 4:00, ask who handles your questions on other days.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want GLP-1 medication on a 12-week plan or hormone replacement, you are ready to pay cash, and you can come in on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. It is a weaker fit if you need a primary care physician to manage everything, want peptide or longevity medicine, or need telehealth.
