What is Medical Group of the Carolinas, Weight Loss Services?
Medical Group of the Carolinas, Weight Loss Services is a weight loss practice at 100 East Wood Street, Suite 202, in Spartanburg, SC 29303. The phone number is 864-560-7070, and the office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is a member of Medical Group of the Carolinas, a multi-specialty physician group serving Upstate South Carolina and parts of North Carolina. Google lists the practice at 3.7 from 15 reviews.
The practice offers three services: Weight Loss, Minimally-Invasive Surgery, and Video Visits, which is listed with no details. In its own words: "Our program includes both weight loss surgery and medical weight loss programs." The non-surgical Medical Weight Loss program is open to adults 18 and older with a BMI of 25 or higher. It includes an initial evaluation with an EKG and blood work, weekly visits with nurses, nurse practitioners or a dietitian, and a choice of low carbohydrate or Mediterranean diet. The medications named are a B12 injection and appetite suppressant medications, given "if appropriate." Surgery, including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, is performed at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.
The clinicians named are Paul Ross, MD, and three nurse practitioners: Jessica Cash, NP, Mark Alexander, NP, and Natasha Tucker, NP. The practice lists all four under surgery. The weight loss page links Jessica Cash as a related provider, but it does not say she prescribes for the program.
What does it cost?
Medical Weight Loss costs $200 for the first month, which includes the initial evaluation and weekly visits. Each month after that is $100. The fee description includes the weekly B12 injection and appetite suppressant medication, if appropriate, but it does not say whether the medication itself is covered. Missed weekly visits are not refunded or credited, counseling costs extra, and prices may change.
Surgery has no program fee, but the practice does not publish a self-pay surgery price. It is a participating provider for most medical insurance plans, and co-pays apply to insured patients. The weight loss page says most insurers do not pay for commercial weight loss services, and the practice does not file claims or guarantee reimbursement. Care Credit financing is offered. It does not publish a consultation fee.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription for the B12 injection and the appetite suppressant, and whether that clinician is one of the four named. Ask whether the $100 monthly fee includes the appetite suppressant itself, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded.
Ask how long a commitment lasts, how to cancel, and whether any part of a paid month comes back if you stop early. Ask what repeat blood work and follow-up cost after the first month, and whether a video visit replaces an office visit at the same price. For surgery, ask which surgeon you would see and what the self-pay price is.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a non-surgical weekly program with a posted monthly price, and you will get the medication cost and prescriber confirmed in writing before you pay. If you need a named weight loss prescriber or a surgery price before your first visit, call first and wait for those answers before booking.
