What is Cedar Grove Medical Associates?
Cedar Grove Medical Associates is a family medical practice at 301 Wolverine Trail, Suite 100, in Smyrna, Tennessee. Its main work is primary care for children and adults, including sports and pre-employment physicals, well child check-ups, vaccinations, diabetes management and prescription services. Weight management is one service among these, not the center of the practice. The clinic also lists a program called Metafast Weight Loss, but it does not explain what that program involves or whether it uses medication.
John Daniel Rudd, M.D., is listed as the owner and medical director, and he has practiced internal medicine in Rutherford County since 1984. Jacqueline Peters, APRN-BC, APRN, MSN, is a nurse practitioner who has been with the practice since 2007. Only these two are named as prescribers. In its own words: "Additionally, she offers treatment for obesity and weight management." That line sits in Peters' provider bio.
The practice serves Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne and Rutherford. It is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed on weekends. On Google it has a 3.8 rating from 27 reviews. It also runs an office-based Suboxone program for opioid dependence, which does not accept insurance.
What does it cost?
The clinic does not publish prices for weight management, Metafast or any other visit. It does not publish a consultation fee either, and it does not say whether medication is included in any cost. It says it accepts most health insurance and names carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare, Tricare and United Health Care. It does not say whether weight management visits are covered by insurance. It does not mention cash-pay memberships, HSA use or financing. The Suboxone program is the one service it says does not take insurance.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether your insurance covers the weight management visits, and if it does not, what a visit and the Metafast program cost each month. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask which prescriber would write the prescription and how often you would be seen. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether telehealth is available, since the clinic does not say. Finally, ask how you cancel and whether there is any fee for stopping.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a family doctor's office that also handles weight management, and you want to confirm what insurance covers before you pay anything. If you are looking for a cash-pay weight program with published prices, call and ask for them first, because none are posted.
