Weight Management Program

Who is Dr. Jenny Seger’s Weight Loss Program for?

Dr. Jenny Seger has a weight loss program designed specifically for both teens and for adults!

What is Dr. Jenny Seger’s Weight Loss Program?

Dr. Jenny’s Weight Loss Program is a comprehensive, holistic and innovative approach to help patients lose weight, improve their health and maintain their healthy weight goals through a combination of consultation, medical treatment and practical advice.

What is included in the initial program fee?

The initial progress fee includes the following:

New patient interactive online class led by Dr. Jenny
2 comprehensive body composition analyses
Baseline EKG
Initial one on one visit with a thorough medical history and physical examination
Initial visit with one of our dedicated on-staff dietitians

Does Dr. Jenny’s program use meal replacements?

Not typically. While meal replacements are part of a customized weight-loss routine for some patients, they are not universally used or recommended in Dr. Jenny’s Weight Loss Program.

How often are visits?

Initially, visits occur every month to ensure your weight loss goals are being met on time and safely. Once you begin to make your weight loss goals, your visits may become more spaced out though you will need to make periodic visits to our office to ensure that you are losing weight in a healthy and safe manner.

Do patients need to have a primary care doctor?

Yes! Dr. Jenny’s Weight Loss Program, though very comprehensive, does not take the place of a primary care provider.

How much weight will I lose?

Patients who actively engage in the program typically lose 15-25% of their starting body weight.

Does Dr. Jenny’s program use compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide?

No! Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are NOT FDA-approved. Compunded versions of these medications are created by compounding pharmacies and do not have the same rigorous standards as other medical therapies.

Payments and Insurance

Does the Dr. Jenny Weight Loss Program accept insurance?

Partially. The initial payment for the program is paid directly, not through your insurance. Many insurance providers do not cover weight loss programs of any kind. Payment is due at the time of service.

What insurance plans are currently accepted?

For general patient visits, Dr. Jenny Seger’s practice accepts the following:

Aetna
BlueCross BlueShield
Baseline EKG
Cigna
Humana
United Healthcare

Can patients use their insurance for labs and other tests?

Absolutely! Additionally, if a patient doesn’t have insurance, we have negotiated greatly reduced self-pay prices with several leading labs in the US.

Can I pay with my FSA or HSA Card?

General health services provided by Dr. Jenny Seger are typically covered by FSA and HSA accounts. Please check with your provider for details about your coverage.

Is medication cost included in the pricing?

No. Anti-obesity medication is very rarely covered by insurance. Cash pay prices (when insurance does NOT cover Anti-Obesity Medicine) vary widely from as little as $15/month to as high as $1000/month for high doses of the GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide in their namebrand forms only.
