Innovative Primary Care Helps Patients Navigate Access to GLP Weight Loss Medications
Summary
If you want to make being overweight a thing of the past, but don't know where to start - contact Innovative Care. We'll help you navigate the options and reach your goals.
At Innovative Primary Care, we understand the challenges of navigating the world of weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 options. Our dedicated and compassionate team is here to support you. From understanding the benefits and potential side effects to navigating insurance and finding the right medication for your needs, we deliver the best possible care. Discover how Innovative Primary Care makes accessing GLP-1 weight loss medications easier and more effective for our patients.
Brand Name vs. Compounded Medication
As a trusted Chicago medical practice, we accept all major PPO insurance plans. We always suggest that qualified patients try to get insurance coverage for weight loss medication before pursuing compounded semaglutide. Our team commonly prescribes Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound. If your insurance denies coverage, we also offer a self-pay option (compounded semaglutide) that we source from a trusted compounding pharmacy.
Getting Started is Simple
Step 1 – Schedule Online
Ready to lose weight for good? Let our Innovative Primary Care providers lead the way. We believe medical weight loss should be guided by an expert and closely monitored. Schedule your first visit online and meet with our provider via telemedicine.
Step 2 – First Appointment
The first visit will be approximately 30 minutes. We’ll focus on health history, weight goals and expectations. We’ll explain how blood sugar regulation leads to weight loss, and if appropriate, prescribe GLP medication to help keep your blood sugar in range (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Zepbound). We always try to use medical insurance for weight loss medication before turning to compounded semaglutide. If weight loss medication is recommended, we will send a prescription to the pharmacy and strive for insurance coverage.
Step 3 – Monthly Check-Ins
If your insurance covers weight loss, you will pick up your medication from the pharmacy of your choice and see an Innovative Primary Care provider twice monthly via telemedicine to ensure you’re on track and address any questions. If your insurance denied coverage for weight loss medication, we will offer you compounded semaglutide for a flat fee monthly ($350 includes medication and a monthly visit with a medical provider).
Our experts have helped hundreds of patients lose weight successfully, and we would love to help you. Book your first appointment here. Patients must reside in Illinois. Most appointments can be done via telemedicine for your convenience, however our providers also accept in-person appointments at our four primary care office locations.
