A Community Wellness Clinic

About A Community Wellness Clinic

What is A Community Wellness Clinic?

A Community Wellness Clinic is a women's weight loss practice at 2405 E 17th Ave, Suite 113, in Spokane, WA 99223, on the South Hill across from Lincoln Park. Kerry Traugott, DNP, a nurse practitioner, is the only prescriber named. The clinic describes itself as a women's primary care and weight loss clinic, but its main focus is holistic weight loss for women.

It names four medications: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Mounjaro and Wegovy injection. Its other services are non-surgical weight loss, nutrition and weight loss, weight loss management, lifestyle coaching, Body Mind Bridge and business coaching. Care can be in person, hybrid or fully online. The practice is paperless and uses a patient portal, and patients are sent to outside locations for lab draws and imaging. It has a Google rating of 5 from 3 reviews.

This listing is for its Spokane office at 2405 E 17th Ave STE 113.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. Its listing carries a price band of three dollar signs, but no figures. The consultation is free. It says it accepts insurance and lists Aetna, Asuris, Blue Cross / Blue Shield (local and federal), Cigna, First Choice, LifeWise, Premera (including Providence) and Regence (local and federal). If your insurer is not on that list, you are out of network, but the clinic will provide superbills for possible reimbursement. It states that you are responsible for costs insurance does not cover. In its own words: "Use your insurance for holistic weight loss care. We’ll verify your benefits, no surprises." It does not say whether medication is included in its fees.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication, and what the medication costs on top of that. Ask which product you would be prescribed and whether it is brand-name or compounded. The site also lists several medications under "Upcoming FDA Approval," so ask whether any of those would be part of your plan and whether they are approved now. Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and imaging cost, since those are done elsewhere. Ask whether telehealth visits are billed differently from in-person ones, and whether the coaching services are included in your fee or billed separately. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a fee for it.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss care for women from a nurse practitioner, either in person or online, and you are willing to get the total monthly cost in writing before you commit. If you specifically want a physician to prescribe, or you need a fixed price up front, ask those questions first.
