What is HCA Healthcare Summerville Weight Loss and Surgical Specialists?
This is a surgical practice, not a medication clinic. It is at 295A Midland Pkwy, Suite 260, in Summerville, SC 29485, and the phone number is 843-875-8994. Its main work is bariatric surgery, with reflux treatment and general surgery for gallbladder, hernia, bowel and colon problems. The weight loss operations offered are sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, duodenal switch and SADI, plus revision and conversion surgery. The practice says it also offers medical weight loss options, but it does not describe them or name any medication.
Dr. Michael "Logan" Rawlins, MD, is the medical director and the surgeon new patients are asked to book with. Dr. Rebecca Burnham is a board-certified general surgeon who leads its heartburn and reflux care. Visits, endoscopy and surgery all happen at HCA Healthcare Summerville Hospital. The practice says it is an accredited center by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and a designated Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Distinction Center. It has a 4.8 Google rating from 146 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or a monthly rate. It does accept insurance. In its own words: "Most insurance plans will cover the surgery minus your copays or out-of-pocket expenses, but a few insurance plans do not cover bariatrics; in that case, we will discuss options for self-pay programs with you." The first step, an online informational session, is free. What a self-pay program costs, and whether it includes medication, is not stated.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask what a consultation with Dr. Rawlins costs and whether insurance is billed for it. If your plan excludes bariatric surgery, ask the price of the self-pay program and what it includes. If medical weight loss is offered, ask which medication is used, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and who writes the prescription. Ask what the workup costs out of pocket: labs, an EKG, the upper endoscopy, psychological clearance, the three to six months of supervised diet counseling, and any sleep study or cardiology clearance. Ask whether follow-up visits at two weeks, four weeks, three months, six months, 12 months and yearly are billed separately. Ask whether any visits can be done by video, and for office hours, since neither is listed. Finally, ask how you cancel a program and whether any deposit is refundable.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are weighing weight loss surgery, or need a surgeon for reflux or a general surgery problem, and can come in person to Summerville. It is less likely to fit if you want a medication program without surgery, since no weight loss medication is named.
