Genesis Weight & Wellness is truly an individualized, evidence-based medical program to help you achieve your weight goals for the long-term. The practice is a hybrid of telemedicine and in-person encounters.
For interested patients, I offer MyPhenome® test, a simple DNA test to determine the cause of your obesity. Learn more here!
This is also a boutique practice that will have limited membership. I want to give each patient the time and attention they desire so patients receive the highest quality care.
There are two phases of the program:
Membership Program
What you can expect
Convenience: I’ve made your experience as convenient as possible. I come to you for your physical exam (this is our “in-person” visit) and follow-up visits with me or your nutritional & exercise coach are done virtually. This is a high tech practice so you can access care on time, no more waiting in the doctor’s office!
Close Monitoring: Begin with an in-home exam, followed by routine telemedicine check-ins for 6 months. Maintenance visits schedule thereafter for continued support.
Health Optimization: I’ll evaluate for conditions that may cause weight gain and treat the root cause – ordering labs as needed to optimize your health.
Personalized Treatment Plans - Not a One-Size-Fits-All Program: No meal replacements, no fad diets, no one-size-fits-all approach. Your plan is built around your labs, lifestyle, and goals to optimize health that will last.
Body Composition Analysis: Get a complete Body Composition Analysis with our InBody 380 at your initial in-home exam, then follow up with re-scans as needed. Determine visceral fat, monitor weight and fat loss, as well as muscle mass.
Nutrition Counseling: Partner with our nutrition expert for weekly check-ins, along with advice for grocery shopping, meal planning, tracking macros, supplements, and more.
Exercise Plan: Get expertly curated workouts that are enjoyable to support lean mass and metabolism. Our coach builds these around your gym or equipment you have. Your InBody report helps inform where you need to target, no more guessing.
Find The Right Medication: I offer a full range of FDA-approved weight loss options, including all GLP-1s and oral medications. Treatment is personalized based on your health history, with regular check-ins to monitor progress and adjust as needed.
Personal Support: Our program includes unlimited messages, phone calls, and supplemental telemedicine visits as needed.
Patient Portal: Patients receive access to their medical records for sharing with other providers, tracking, and physician interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of a medical weight loss clinic?
Costs can vary widely. Genesis Weight & Wellness membership is $200/month for the weight loss program, which includes all visits. For the weight maintenance program, visits are $250 each. Medications are typically separate and may be covered by insurance or paid out of pocket, depending on the prescription.
Does insurance cover medical weight loss?
I do not bill insurance directly. This allows me to spend more time with you and curate a more personal, individualized experience. Your pharmacy benefits may cover some medications; I’ll help you explore your options. HSA and FSA payments are accepted. Upon conclusion of your appointment, you will be provided with a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential partial or full reimbursement.
What kind of doctor will prescribe weight loss medication?
You can get weight loss medications from a variety of sources, however, why would you put your health in the hands of someone who is not thoroughly trained? Dr. Codrea is board-certified in both obesity medicine and family medicine, ensuring expert, safe prescribing.
