Weight Loss Care With Clarity, Compassion & Convenience
A personalized approach to medical weight management, with virtual visits, individualized treatment recommendations, and clear information about your care and costs.
Whether you're exploring treatment for the first time or continuing your progress, we help you understand the next steps without unnecessary confusion. Our nurse practitioner-led practice offers medical weight-loss consultations and follow-up care for eligible patients in Texas and New Mexico.
Schedule a Consultation Text Our OfficeUnderstand Your Options Before You Begin
We offer insurance-based visits for eligible patients and a direct-pay medication option through our practice. The difference is simple: how your visits and medication are paid for.
Consultations & Follow-Ups
We accept participating BCBS, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare plans for eligible medical weight-loss consultations and follow-up appointments. Your plan may apply a copay, deductible, or coinsurance.
Insurance coverage for an office or telehealth visit is separate from prescription drug benefits. Our team can help review network participation and visit benefits before scheduling.
Medication With Weight-Loss Visit Fees Included
When you purchase weight-loss medication directly through A Better You Primary Care, we do not bill insurance for the medication.
The medication cost includes your weight-loss consultation and related follow-up visit fees associated with that treatment arrangement.
We'll explain the medication price and included services before you place an order. Medication is prescribed only after an appropriate clinical evaluation.
A Note About Your Insurance Benefits
We can help verify your plan, but verification is not a guarantee of coverage or payment. Network participation may differ by plan and state, and prescription coverage is determined separately by your insurer or pharmacy benefit manager.
What Happens During Medical Weight-Loss Care?
We focus on more than a prescription. Your treatment plan begins with understanding your health and continues with appropriate monitoring.
Initial Evaluation
We discuss your weight history, medical conditions, current medications, previous approaches, goals, and potential barriers to progress.
Your provider assesses whether prescription treatment may be appropriate.
Individualized Plan
When indicated, your provider explains medication choices, potential benefits and risks, nutrition and activity goals, and whether additional testing or records are needed before treatment.
Ongoing Monitoring
Follow-up visits focus on progress, tolerability, side effects, treatment response, and adjustments when clinically appropriate.
The recommended schedule depends on your individual care plan.
Weight-Loss Care vs. Other Medical Services
We want you to know which services are part of your weight-loss treatment and which require a separate visit or charge.
Weight-Loss Related Care
- Weight-management consultations and treatment planning
- Follow-ups associated with your weight-loss treatment
- Review of treatment response and medication tolerability
- Discussion of weight-loss goals, nutrition, and lifestyle habits
- Medication adjustments when clinically appropriate
For medication purchased through our practice, the applicable weight-loss consultation and follow-up visit fees are included in the medication price.
Separate Primary Care Services
- Evaluation of an unrelated illness or new symptom
- Management of medical conditions unrelated to weight loss
- Refills for medications unrelated to weight management
- Other primary care concerns requiring separate evaluation
These services carry an additional charge.
Eligible visits may be billed to accepted insurance or paid at the applicable self-pay rate.
Not Sure Which Type of Visit You Need?
Let our office know what you'd like to discuss when scheduling. We can help determine whether your concern belongs in a weight-loss follow-up or requires a separate primary care appointment, and explain any applicable charges.

Helpful Details Before Your First Visit
A few practical answers about medication access, virtual appointments, and getting the most from your consultation.
Do I need to know which weight-loss medication I want?
No. Your provider will review your medical history and explain appropriate options, including the benefits, risks, and limitations of any treatment being considered. A prescription is never guaranteed.
What if Wegovy or Zepbound is not covered by my plan?
We can discuss other medically appropriate options. When clinically appropriate and legally permitted, a compounded GLP-1 medication may be an option through a trusted pharmacy.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. Lack of insurance coverage alone does not establish a legal basis for compounding an available FDA-approved drug.
Will I need laboratory testing?
Testing may be recommended depending on your health history, current conditions, and treatment considerations.
Your provider will explain whether it is needed. Laboratory charges, when applicable, are separate unless expressly included in a quoted service.
Can I attend appointments from home?
Yes. Eligible visits are available by telemedicine. You must be physically located in Texas or New Mexico at the time of your appointment, and your provider will determine whether a virtual visit is appropriate for your needs.
What if I develop side effects or have questions during treatment?
Contact our office for guidance about concerns related to your prescribed treatment.
Your provider may recommend a follow-up, treatment adjustment, or in-person evaluation depending on your symptoms.
Seek urgent or emergency care for severe symptoms; telemedicine is not an emergency service.
Can I also receive primary care from your practice?
Yes. We offer telemedicine primary care in addition to weight management.
Primary care visits for concerns unrelated to weight loss are separate services and may have their own insurance billing or self-pay charges.
