Broussard Family Practice

About Broussard Family Practice

What is Broussard Family Practice?

Broussard Family Practice is a family medical practice at 7675 Folsom Drive Suite 300B in Beaumont, Texas. Its core work is primary care, including wellness checks, well woman exams, sick visits and flu shots. It also runs a medically guided weight loss program and offers bioTE hormone pellet therapy, a form of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). The weight loss program uses lipotropic injections (Lipo-Plex, Lipo-Trim, Inferno and Tummy Torch), B-12 and L Carnitine injections, and a daily appetite suppressant that is not named. It also offers an in-office GLP-1 program for qualified candidates, without naming the medication. It does not name peptide therapy or longevity medicine as services. Google lists it as a medical office with a 3.7 rating from 36 reviews.

In its own words: "Injections are given weekly. Patients will receive weekly weigh checks and BMI calculations while on the plan." Four clinicians are named. Julie Broussard, FNP-C, owns the practice and has been a certified Family Nurse Practitioner since 2004. She is also a certified bioTE provider and owns skinologie, a medical and laser spa in Beaumont. The others are Erica McPhatter, FNP-C, MSN, RN, Allyssa Hagan, APRN, FNP-BC, and John Fowler, MD, the collaborating physician. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5pm, and Friday, 8am to 12pm. It lists Telemed in its menu but publishes no details about it.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone pellet therapy or its Introductory Package, and it does not state a consultation fee. The Introductory Package covers a first visit with its staff, basic lab work, a B-12 or L Carnitine injection, a weigh-in with BMI and body measurements, and a free meal planning guide and fitness program. It does not say whether medication is included in any price.

It accepts most major insurances, including Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, UMR, UnitedHealthcare and PHCS MultiPlan. That list appears under its family medical services. It does not say whether insurance applies to weight loss or hormone therapy. For Botox and filler at skinologie, it offers Alle Financing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which GLP-1 medication would be prescribed and whether it is brand-name or compounded, since the practice does not name it. Ask whether any monthly or program price includes the medication, and what each lipotropic and energy booster injection costs. Ask who signs the prescription and who sees you at the first visit.

Ask what follow-up visits and repeat labs cost, since labs are repeated as needed. For hormone pellet therapy, ask what the pellets contain and how your hormone levels are checked. Ask how cancellation works, because it does not publish membership or cancellation terms. Finally, ask what Telemed covers and whether any of this can be billed to your insurance.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a Beaumont family practice that handles primary care alongside weight loss or hormone pellet therapy, and you are willing to get prices, the medication name and cancellation terms in writing before you pay.
