Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some common questions we have received about our weight loss programs. If you have a question and do not see answer provided on this site please contact us.
1. Will insurances pay for my weight loss treatment?
Most insurances will not cover the cost of weight loss treatments so our programs are cash based. We want to make our treatments as affordable as possible and are very competitive in our pricing. Financing is also available through CareCredit® which offers healthcare financing.
2. How much do you charge for all of these services?
We are very competitive in our pricing. Our goal is to make sure these services are accessible to all of our patients who need or want them. We can discuss the pricing when you make an appointment to thoroughly discuss your options. We want our patients to be thoroughly educated before they make a decision on their weight loss program. We do not want our patients to determine their options based on price alone. Besides, most of our patients reading this section has relatively good idea of what every other clinics charge.
