Yes, but always check your company's policies first. When you receive the invoice for services these cards can be used just like a credit card.

Yes. The United States Food and Drug Administration approves all prescription medications. Some are available as generic medicines at retail pharmacies, and some are obtained through licensed compounding pharmacies.

Obesity is considered, medically, to be a disease like high blood pressure. Studies show that if you stop treatment for obesity after reaching your goal weight, most people regain the weight they lost, or at least about 80% of it, within a year. This does not mean you will need the exact same treatment for the rest of your life. But, if you go back to doing the things that resulted in the weight gain before starting your weight loss medication, then you will regain the weight you lost. As your partner in this journey, this is something we work on and discuss together.

You can use your insurance for labs I order, and medicines sent to retail pharmacies, but not for medications from a compounding pharmacy. We can discuss the reasons why during your visit. Unfortunately, most insurance will not cover these medications and the compounding pharmacy allows them to be available when they otherwise may not be. 

I do not at this time file any insurance claims through this office. I can, at your request, provide you with documentation which outlines the medical diagnosis you are being treated for and the plan of care. Depending on each individual's insurance plan you may be reimbursed a portion of your payment, usually at an out of network rate.
