For subscriptions that include medical weight loss medications please refer to our home and medications page for associated pricing.
Everyone responds differently depending on the types of medication and some medications induce greater amounts of weight loss than others over periods of time. With that being said, we have seen an average weight loss of 10-15% of baseline weight over a period of 3-24 weeks – depending on drug and adherence to diet and exercise guidance.
Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) in all forms (injectable and oral formulations), tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound and Mounjaro), Phentermine-Topiramate (the active ingredients in Qsymia) for long-term use, Phentermine alone (for short term use), Naltrexone-Bupropion (the active ingredients in Contrave).

No. Parental consent is required for the weight management and diabetes prevention for persons under the age of 18. Interventions include family based behavioral techniques. When it comes to children, it’s a family affair!
Thyroid, testosterone, and estrogen replacement therapies.
Yes. This is an important step to identify underlying illnesses and factors that may be influencing weight gain and overall health, and establish baseline organ function. We will accept bloodwork done with another provider within the last 12 months.
Before the initial visit, every 3-6 months while on treatment depending on how well therapy is tolerated, and with any spontaneous change in physical or psychological condition.
If you have insurance which is NOT Medicare or Medicaid, it’s possible to obtain lab work as a covered benefit with our orders. If you do not have insurance, the cost of bloodwork varies depending on the facility and tests ordered. Labs for medical weight loss products range from $100 to $160 – or less if you already have other necessary labs drawn within the last 12 months. $200-$275 if seeking weight loss and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), $250-$286 if seeking weight loss and estrogen replacement therapy. We work with Bioreference and Quest labs.
Yes. The consultation, which includes evaluation of your bloodwork and discussions about the details of your individualized care plan is an office visit. Your subscription plan includes a non-refundable $100 fee which covers the cost of the telehealth visit. If, after consultation, you decide not to choose a medical weight loss product, the cost of the subscription, less $100 will be refunded to you. No shows, without at least 24 hours notice, will be charged $25.
General questions may be asked via email using the contact form at the bottom of the page. Our blog page and this FAQ are also great sources of information.
Medical weight loss products are prescribed specifically for a patient, so once medical products are shipped, they cannot be refunded.
You can cancel your subscription with Òmni Health NP at any time by writing to us at connect@omnihealth.live and/or ceasing to use our services. There are no contracts.
We do not directly bill insurance companies. Our products are largely uncovered by commercial insurance companies because of criteria needed to qualify for these medications (you need to have diabetes). In some cases, our bloodwork may reveal information that allows the patient’s insurance company to cover the drug. In these cases, we bill $150/month for our services and work to get prior authorization and prescribe the medications to a retail pharmacy.
We do not directly bill FSA/HSA accounts, but our patients successfully receive reimbursement from FSA/HSA for our medical services and costs of prescribed medications.
We currently accept Zelle and Venmo for payment.
Not at the moment. Omni Health NP is a virtual (telemedicine) weight loss, diabetes prevention, and hormonal therapy management practice. This may change to include a hybrid model in the future for the NYC and Westchester NY areas.

GlP1-RAs are designed to be used long term i.e. >1 yr. It takes about 2 months to begin to see the desired impact of the medication on your weight and most GLP1-RA trials have tested efficacy and safety over a period of 1-4 years. How long you will continue to take this medication will be individualized and based on how well you respond to and tolerate the medication, as well as your long-term goals.
Many people respond quickly to GLP1-RAs, i.e. > 5% reduction of baseline bodyweight within 3 months, with continued weight loss expected until weight plateaus. Once the weight is off, it is important to continue therapy because weight regain is likely. It’s best to approach weight loss with GLP1-RAs as a lifestyle that includes consuming whole foods, meal portion control, choosing nutritionally dense foods, getting plenty of sleep, and exercise which are all components of a well-designed wellness plan.
