As part of his responsibilities within the telehealth model, he ensures proper medication prescribing and overseeing the client’s care plans and the clinical safety of the patients.

GLP-1 and Medical Weight Loss Programs

Telehealth services for weight management can include GLP-1 receptor agonist medications as part of an “as needed” protocol. Patients complete a virtual evaluation, during which health care providers obtain patients’ medical history, lifestyle, and desired outcomes to create a personalized treatment plan.

The patient will receive ongoing care by having regular communication with the provider, including adjusting medications, communicating about any concerns about progress toward weight loss goal, or requesting assistance with behavioral support as needed to help achieve sustainable weight loss. Medical supervision of the patient works in conjunction with lifestyle coaching to increase the likelihood of compliance and to achieve long-term success.

Weight Loss Program Pricing

The clinic does not publish pricing for GLP-1 or weight loss services. Pricing is based on your consultation as well as your prescribed treatment plan and your ongoing care needs. Pricing will usually be discussed during the virtual intake visit, during which the clinician will evaluate your eligibility and develop a personalized program for you.
