Phentermine, Tirzepatide & Semaglutide – Our Medical Weight Loss Programs

Phentermine – A Motivating Friend

This program uses Phentermine, a reliable appetite suppressant that has helped many of our clients on their weight loss journeys. When used under the supervision of our healthcare professionals, it is safe and effective for a limited time.

Tirzepatide – A Powerful Hormone Ally

Recently introduced Tirzepatide is changing the game in weight management. This medication helps simulate important hormones that manage both appetite and blood sugar levels, providing a strong support system for your weight loss efforts.

Semaglutide – ‘Smart’ Appetite Control

Semaglutide works by targeting specific areas in the brain to help control your appetite. It reduces those constant hunger feelings and improves meal satisfaction, making it easier to maintain a balanced diet.

Financing Partners for Your Medical Weight Loss Journey

Beyond the traditional methods of payment, we offer financing options for both surgical and nonsurgical treatments through  Compassionate Financing or PatientFi. If you think this is the way forward for your wonderful weight loss transformation,  contact us to start the conversation. 

Insurance Coverage for GLP-1 Medications in California

Tirzepatide & Semaglutide are GLP-1s, and in California, many health insurance plans will cover these medications if used for weight management. It’s important to keep in mind that coverage can differ between providers. Usually, insurance providers will require a formal diagnosis for a condition that needs the use of GLP-1s, like diabetes or obesity, as noted by a healthcare professional.

Additionally, some plans might require prior authorization before covering these medications. This means your prescribing doctor will need to provide detailed information showing that the medication is necessary for your health. Insurers may also set specific conditions for continuing coverage, like showing progress in your health over time.

It’s also good to be aware that you might have some out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments or a portion of the medication’s cost (coinsurance), depending on your insurance plan’s details. To avoid surprises, we recommend talking to your insurance provider to understand what your coverage entails before starting treatment with GLP-1 medications.

As an extra step, checking with pharmacists about insurance billing codes and any savings programs from medication manufacturers can be helpful; this can sometimes lead to additional ways to lower your costs.
