Cash-Pay Weight Loss in Louisiana: Opened Properly, Priced Publicly

Medically reviewed by Jeffrey McWilliams, MD, Board-Certified Emergency Medicine, Telehealth Innovator

There is a cheap way for a telehealth company to add Louisiana, and most take it: one more line in the state dropdown, the same anonymous service behind it. New Genesis Vitality opens a state the slow way. We do not treat patients anywhere until the practice is licensed there and the clinicians who will serve it hold licenses there too, under their own names. Louisiana cleared that bar with two doctors, not one: Jeffrey McWilliams, MD, Board-Certified Emergency Medicine physician and Telehealth Innovator, and Jeni Baker, MD, the physician who leads women’s wellness across our practice.

The fee schedule arrived intact and fully published: $129 for the initial consultation in our Metabolic Correction (GLP-1) program, $99 for each follow-up, lab panels from $99, and any medication quoted at the pharmacy’s pass-through price before it is prescribed. If a fee is not on this page or our pricing page, we do not charge it.

Two Doctors, Not a Dropdown

Weight-loss consultations for Louisiana patients are with our Louisiana-licensed providers, and both of them can be introduced right here:

  • Jeffrey McWilliams, MD: Board-Certified Emergency Medicine physician and Telehealth Innovator, based in East Texas just across the Louisiana line. His practice with us is entirely by video, under his active Louisiana license.
  • Jeni Baker, MD: Board-Certified Emergency Medicine Physician and The Women’s Vitality Physician, the lead for women’s wellness at our practice, licensed in Louisiana and seeing Louisiana patients directly.

New Genesis Vitality is a physician-led telehealth practice staffed by US Board-Certified Physicians and Practitioners with over 80 years of combined experience. The schedule shows you the doctor’s name before any money changes hands, and neither name is a bait: these are the physicians who actually conduct Louisiana visits. The broader picture of who we are in the state lives on our Louisiana telehealth page.

The Billing Model, in One Paragraph

Cash-pay weight loss in Louisiana means the practice publishes its fees, you pay them directly, and eligibility, pace, and price are set by medicine rather than by an insurance plan’s rules. The medicine itself is unchanged by the billing: lab work comes before prescriptions, the consultation is with a provider licensed in Louisiana, and medication comes only from regulated US pharmacies, at a price quoted to you in advance. The bargain runs one way and stays honest: we never bill an insurer, and no insurer decides your eligibility or pace here. Superbills are provided if you want to pursue HSA or FSA reimbursement under your account’s rules.

The Program, Priced Line by Line

Labs From $99, Drawn in Your Parish

Care starts with numbers of the medical kind. The panel itself gets ordered during your consultation, with pricing that begins at $99, and the panel’s price is the entire lab cost, whichever panel your provider orders: the Quest draw and your provider’s review of the results are already inside it, with no separate charge for either. Quest’s network covers Louisiana, so a draw location is close by whether you are in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, or Monroe. Every panel is described on our lab testing page. Recent results from another practice can substitute: your provider judges whether they are current and complete enough, and when they are, the $99 panel simply is not needed.

The First Appointment: Half an Hour, by Video

Plan on roughly 30 minutes for the first visit: one-on-one by video, with a Louisiana-licensed provider, and with evening and weekend slots on the calendar for people whose days are already full. Expect the conversation to work through your history, your labs, and everything you have tried before, since those three things are the raw material any real plan is built from. The visit happens wherever in Louisiana you happen to be.

The Prescription Waits Until You Have Seen Its Price

If your provider determines that GLP-1 class medication is medically appropriate for you, it is billed separately at pass-through pharmacy pricing, and the exact figure reaches you before anything is prescribed. The decision to proceed at that price belongs to you, made while the quote is still an offer rather than a bill.

Ongoing Care at $99 a Visit

Follow-ups are $99, usually run about 15 minutes, and keep the plan aligned with your labs and your response. If a prescription is refilled between scheduled appointments, the charge is a flat $10, printed in this fee schedule in advance.

Louisiana month one, in whole dollars

Take the base $99 panel and the arithmetic is public: $129 for the consultation, $99 for labs, $228 to the clinic across your first month. If usable recent labs replace the panel, month one is the $129 consultation by itself. Medication stays out of that sum on purpose: your quote is individual, and it becomes a cost only after you have said yes to it. One further disclosure, so the list is complete: if you and your provider later add peptide therapy protocols to your care, that care is billed at the regular Advanced Peptide consultation fees of $199 initial and $149 follow-up. The full schedule lives on our pricing page.

Before You Book From Louisiana

Do both of the Louisiana doctors see weight-loss patients?

Consultations for Louisiana patients are with our Louisiana-licensed providers: Jeffrey McWilliams, MD, or Jeni Baker, MD. Both hold active Louisiana licenses and both treat Louisiana patients. You will see the name of your provider before you finalize any appointment, so who is treating you is settled before anything is paid.

Does New Genesis Vitality have an office in Louisiana?

No, and not anywhere else either: the practice is 100% online, with no physical location patients visit in any state. Our registered address is in Austin, Texas, and Dr. McWilliams is based in East Texas just across the Louisiana line, but your care happens by video under Louisiana licensure, with blood draws handled at whichever Quest location is convenient to you.

Is there a membership fee, or a minimum number of months?

No membership and no bundled program fee. You pay per visit at the published rates, $129 for the initial consultation and $99 for follow-ups in the GLP-1 program, plus labs from $99 and any medication at its quoted pass-through price. The only other fee that exists is the flat $10 charge when a prescription is refilled between appointments.

What happens if the doctor decides GLP-1 medication is not right for me?

Then it is not prescribed, and that outcome is the evaluation working, not failing. Your labs still get reviewed with you, and your provider tells you plainly what the results support instead, whether that is a different program at the practice or follow-up with other care. A consultation here is a medical judgment, not a formality with paperwork attached.

Do you take patients from every parish in Louisiana?

Yes. Licensure in Louisiana is statewide, care is delivered by video, and Quest draw locations cover the state, so care reaches Cameron Parish on the same terms as Orleans Parish. The one requirement is that you are physically located in Louisiana at the time of your visits. Evening and weekend slots are available wherever you log in from.

Add It Up, Then Decide

Every figure this practice charges a Louisiana patient is now above this sentence: $129, then $99 per follow-up, labs from $99, a medication quote you approve before it is filled, $10 for a between-visit refill, and the Advanced Peptide fees if that care is ever added. Two doctors, both named, both licensed here. If the numbers hold up under your own math, book a consultation; evening and weekend slots exist for exactly this, and recent lab results are welcome.
