About Greenbrier Health+Wellness Center

What is Greenbrier Health+Wellness Center?

Greenbrier Health+Wellness Center is a direct primary care practice at 1226 Progressive Drive, Suite 101, in Chesapeake, Virginia. Primary care for families is its main work. Medical weight loss is one of several services, along with women's care, yearly physicals, sports physicals, chronic condition management, vitamin B12 injections, and mental health support. A men's testosterone replacement page links to a separate website. You can call or text 757-609-3301.

The one prescriber named is Maribelle M. Blackmon, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who is also a member of the Obesity Medicine Association. The weight loss medications named are Phentermine, Lomaira, Qysemia, Saxenda, Wegovy, Zepbound, Contrave, Evekeo, Orlistat, and peptides. In its own words: a customized weight loss program that is affordable for everyone. Google shows a 4.6 rating from 19 reviews.

What does it cost?

The new patient visit is $140 and runs 60 to 90 minutes. The weight loss initial visit is also $140, for 90 minutes. Monthly weight loss follow ups are $100 for 30 minutes. Each vitamin B12 injection adds $10, and the B12 with MIC and L-Carnitine injection adds $15. Pricing is per visit. The clinic does not say whether prescription medication is included in these fees.

Older text on its website lists $120 for the first weight loss visit and $80 for follow ups, so confirm which numbers apply. The clinic accepts Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem HealthKeepers, Cigna, Sentara (Optima), Tricare Select, and United Health Care. It also offers many services as fee for service. It does not say whether weight loss visits are billed to insurance, and it does not publish membership terms or a cancellation policy.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication, and what the medication costs on its own. Ask whether each medication is brand name or compounded, especially the peptides. Ask Maribelle M. Blackmon whether she writes the weight loss prescriptions herself, and who handles follow up if she does not. Ask what the required blood tests and ECG cost, since no lab prices are listed. Ask whether weight loss visits go through insurance, and whether Medicare is accepted, since one primary care section lists it and the pricing section does not. Ask how to cancel and whether there is a minimum commitment. The clinic does not list office hours or say whether telehealth is available, so ask both.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want primary care and medical weight loss in one practice, you can pay per visit out of pocket, and you are willing to confirm the medication cost before you book. If you need posted hours, telehealth, or a monthly fee that includes medication, call first and get those answers in writing.
