We do not accept insurance for appointments or medications. These medications can be difficult to obtain, most insurances will not cover them, out of pocket costs are high and pharmacies may be on backorder. If you have medical insurance, you can bill the insurance for lab testing but be sure to know your deductible and if the lab is in the network. We are not responsible for the labs disapproval of insurance billing.
Medical weight loss is a medically supervised weight loss program with a medical professional (Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, or Physician’s assistant). Medications are prescribed to help with appetite and metabolism. Patients are evaluated and a treatment plan will be offered with the best and safest treatment options for your specific circumstances.
Our medical providers determine if a medication can be prescribed based on your health history.
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a certified and licensed healthcare provider who combines advanced clinical expertise and training with a compassionate, patient-centered approach. NPs can diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, and create personalized treatment plans. At Optimal Wellness, our Nurse Practitioners take the time to listen, answer your questions, and guide you with care and confidence every step of the way.
Clients are monitored bi-weekly or monthly at minimum. We monitor for medication effectiveness/weight loss progression, side effects, and blood pressure.
