Here's what GLP-1 treatment looks like at our clinic on Commercial Park Court in Clemmons, just outside Winston-Salem, for patients from Clemmons, Lewisville, Advance and Bermuda Run.
Commercial insurance: Coverage for Wegovy and Zepbound depends on your employer's plan, and many plans need prior authorization. Ozempic and Mounjaro are usually covered only for type 2 diabetes. We'll help you check your benefits first.
State employees and teachers: Many Triad residents are on the NC State Health Plan through a school district, university or state agency. The plan stopped covering GLP-1s for weight loss in April 2024, so most members use a self-pay option.
Medicare: Medicare generally doesn't cover drugs used only for weight loss, though Wegovy may be covered for adults with heart disease and excess weight.
Self-pay: Patients in our program can get in-office GLP-1 treatment starting at $40 a week for semaglutide and $60 a week for tirzepatide.
Before your first dose: Labs, a resting metabolic rate test and a visit with your Clemmons provider to choose the right medication.
Weeks 1 to 4: A low starting dose. Appetite often drops within days. Mild nausea or fullness is common and usually settles.
Weeks 5 to 12: Your dose is adjusted step by step if you need it, while your coach focuses on protein, meals and strength work to protect your muscle.
Ongoing: We keep you on the lowest dose that controls your appetite well, with regular check-ins in person or by telehealth.
It depends on your insurance. With coverage you may only pay a copay. Without it, in-office self-pay starts at $40 a week for semaglutide and $60 a week for tirzepatide for patients in our program.
Yes. We're in-network with most major primary care insurance for visits and labs, and we'll help you check whether your plan covers the medication.
