Obesity is recognized as a medical condition, often serving as a precursor to various other health issues, including heart disease and diabetes. Maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) within the range of 18 to 25 is considered ideal. If your BMI exceeds 25, you are categorized as “overweight or obese.”

You might be wondering if medically assisted weight loss is a suitable option for you. Typically, an excellent candidate is an individual who is otherwise in good health but has a BMI exceeding 30, or a BMI greater than 27 with at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. If you meet these criteria and feel like you’ve exhausted various weight loss methods without success, incorporating medication into your weight loss journey may be a viable option. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to learn more about the program and determine your eligibility. Please note that this approach is not typically the primary choice for managing type 2 diabetes.

Our program involves a series of weekly subcutaneous injections, which you administer to yourself, designed to help you feel fuller, curb cravings, and maintain a sense of fullness for longer periods. These medications will be conveniently shipped to your doorstep. The prescriptions we provide are generic versions of well-known brand name medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. At PMA, we source these medications from reputable 503A compounding pharmacies within the USA, which helps keep medication costs manageable.

Semaglutide (Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) have demonstrated effectiveness in suppressing appetite, improving control overeating habits, reducing food cravings, and enhancing glycemic control.

To participate in our program, you’ll need to attend a series of office appointments. The initial appointment involves a comprehensive physical health assessment, including vital sign measurements and a laboratory review (CBC, CMP, TSH, Lipid Panel, HgA1c). The lab work will be ordered for you to have completed prior to your appointment. If you have recent blood work results (within the last 6 months) from your Primary Care Provider, you may be able to bypass this lab draw by bringing in your existing records. During this initial appointment, you will also receive training on self-injections, and your medication will be shipped to you within approximately 7 days.

If your BMI is within the healthy range, but you still wish to shed those extra 5 to 10 pounds, you can opt for Lipo-B (MICC) injections, available for 1-2 times a week.

Please note that we do not accept insurance for these medications, as obtaining them through insurance can be both challenging and costly.

We do accept HSA/FSA cards for payment.

The program cost is structured as a 3-month subscription starting between $900-$1300, which includes Initial consultation, medication, and follow-up care during the 3-month subscription. You can continue after the 3 months as well. You are required to pay upfront for the duration of the medication ordered. This is an elective program. If you join the program, you are agreeing to pay for PMA oversight and fees for the duration of the program.

Please be aware that the availability and cost of medications may fluctuate based on FDA standards during the program, and we may offer alternative medications like Liraglutide.
