About Seger | MD

What is Seger | MD?

Seger | MD is a physician-led practice at 8038 Wurzbach Road, Suite 250, San Antonio, TX 78229. The phone number is 210-807-7341. Its prescribers are Dr. Jenny Seger and Dr. Michael "Mickey" Seger, whom the practice describes as board-certified physicians in obesity treatment. Its main work is medical weight management and weight loss surgery. It also offers hormone replacement, direct primary care, and EON Laser, which is listed without a description. The medications it names are semaglutide and tirzepatide. The practice describes 40+ years of care, and its Google rating is 5 from 187 reviews.

Most new patients in the weight program meet one on one with Dr. Jenny at a first visit of about an hour. Visits start monthly and later spread out, with in-office visits about every 3 months on average. Surgery is offered in partnership with Metabolic and Bariatric Affiliates, with sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, duodenal switch, and SADI-S among the options. The practice does not place balloons but will monitor ones already placed. On remote visits, it says: "we are happy to support visits using telemedicine." Texas requires regular in-person visits for controlled substances, and some weight loss medications are controlled, so the practice keeps in-office visits in the plan. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30AM to 5:00PM.

What does it cost?

The medical weight management program has an initial program fee of $500 for adults and $400 for adolescents. Medication is not included. The fee covers a 90 minute new patient webinar, a 60 minute in-office evaluation, a dietitian webinar, a baseline EKG, and 2 body composition analyses. The first step is a free intro call with the patient coordinator. The practice says cash prices for name-brand semaglutide and tirzepatide run from as little as $15 a month to as much as $1000 a month, depending on dose.

Follow-up visits with Dr. Jenny cost $150 each, because she is not contracted with insurers. Visits with the nurse practitioner can be billed to insurance, but no cash price for them is published. The practice is contracted with Cigna, Humana, Medicare, Tricare (not PRIME), Aetna, and BlueCross BlueShield, and does not accept Medicaid. Direct primary care does not take insurance, and the practice does not publish a membership price or cancellation terms. Sleeve surgery is advertised as starting as low as $9,900 for patients without insurance. The practice says general health services are typically covered by FSA and HSA accounts, so check with your plan.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription: Dr. Jenny, Dr. Mickey, or the nurse practitioner. Ask what a month of medication costs at the starting dose, since the program fee leaves it out. The practice says it does not use compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, so ask it to confirm that in writing. Ask what each follow-up costs and how often you will be seen. Ask whether labs are billed to insurance or paid self-pay, and what the reduced self-pay lab prices are. If you are considering direct primary care, ask the membership price and how to cancel. If surgery is on the table, ask what the $9,900 figure includes and whether your employer offers the Lantern benefit the practice mentions. Ask what EON Laser is and what it costs.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-led weight management or a surgical consultation in San Antonio, can pay a program fee plus the cost of medication, and can keep up with in-office visits about every 3 months. If you mainly want a prescription, ask about the program fee first. The practice says most patients need a broader approach than a prescription alone, so ask them to explain why on your first call.
