Weight management, supervised by a physician.

Weight management visits are cash pay: $250 for an initial visit and $150 for follow-up visits. Visits are monthly until your maintenance dose is achieved, then every three months thereafter.

Initial and follow-up laboratory work may be billed through your insurance or paid in cash at Sanford Labs — our office will explain what applies to your situation.

Prescriptions are filled directly through the manufacturers' pharmacies: Lilly Direct for tirzepatide (Zepbound) and NovoCare Pharmacy for semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic).

Though many potential anti-inflammatory benefits exist, people generally obtain these medications to treat:

• Obesity — a BMI of 30 or higher
• Overweight — a BMI of 27–30 with at least one related condition, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease or a history of stroke
• Type 2 diabetes
• Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)

Patients must not be pregnant, have a history of pancreatitis, or have a personal or family history of MEN2 or medullary thyroid cancer.
