About eVillageHealth

What is eVillageHealth?

eVillageHealth is a primary care practice at 3419 E. Elena Ln. in Chattaroy, Washington. Its home page describes personalized primary care from the comfort of home, and weight loss is the first of its specialized programs. Jessica Blackwell is the prescriber. In her own words: "I am the owner and nurse practitioner of eVillageHealth."

The practice also lists urgent care, integrative therapies, diabetes remission, heart attack prevention, breast cancer prevention and risk assessment, ADHD evaluation, advanced care planning, palliative and cancer survivor care, and postmenopausal testosterone supplementation. For the categories this directory covers, the weight loss program and the testosterone service are the relevant ones.

The weight loss program includes an individualized meal plan, one-on-one coaching by phone, a metabolic work-up, and prescription weight loss medications as needed. The medications named are Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide).

The clinic is not accepting new patients at this time. It asks people to call and be placed on a waitlist. Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 55 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight loss program costs $799 for the first month and $299 for each month after that. Additional visits are $149 each. It is cash pay and HSA eligible, and it bills month to month with no obligation or commitment. It does not say whether medication is included in the $299 monthly price, and it does not publish a consultation fee.

The GLP-1 page lists $499 for Wegovy through WeGoTogether and $349 to $499 for Zepbound through Lilly Direct, and it names two pharmacies. That page is written for existing patients, and it does not say whether these costs are part of the clinic's fee. The home page also carries an insurance-accepted heading, while the weight loss program is described as cash pay only. Ask which services bill insurance.

What should you ask before you book?

Start by asking whether you can join the waitlist and how long it usually runs. Ask who writes and signs the prescription, and whether that is Jessica Blackwell.

Ask whether the $299 monthly fee includes medication. If it does not, ask what a month of Wegovy or Zepbound costs through the pharmacy the clinic uses. Ask whether the prescription is for the brand-name drug or a compounded version. Ask where the medication is filled, and check that the pharmacy is licensed with the state board of pharmacy, as the GLP-1 page recommends.

Ask what the metabolic work-up, follow-up visits, and lab work cost. Ask whether prescribing visits are in person, by phone, or by video, since phone coaching is listed but remote visits are not stated. Ask how to cancel, and whether a month already billed is refunded. The phone number is (509)-960-6527.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay weight loss program with a named nurse practitioner and phone coaching, and you can wait for an opening. If you need a clinic taking new patients now, or you expect insurance to cover the program, get answers to the questions above before you commit.
