Here is the number most weight loss programs make you call to find out: $129. That is the initial consultation for our Metabolic Correction (GLP-1) program. Follow-ups are $99. Labs start at $99. Medication is billed separately at pass-through pharmacy pricing and quoted to you before anything is prescribed. That is the model. The rest of this page explains why it works in your favor.
If you searched for a cash-pay weight loss doctor in Texas, you have probably already run into the two standard alternatives: an insurance process that decides whether you qualify on its schedule, or a subscription app that hides the real cost inside a bundle. Cash-pay done properly is the third option, and it is not a downgrade. It is the only version where you see the whole bill before you owe any of it.
Cash-pay means you pay the published price directly, and no third party sits between you and your provider. That removes an entire layer most patients only discover mid-treatment: prior authorization requirements, coverage that varies plan to plan, denials that can arrive after care has started, and bills that show up weeks later at numbers nobody quoted. Insurance can work well for many kinds of care. For medical weight loss it often adds gatekeeping and uncertainty without adding medicine.
Cash-pay does not mean unregulated, and it does not mean cheap-by-cutting-corners. You still see a licensed provider. Labs still come first. Prescriptions still go through regulated US pharmacies. The difference is purely in the billing: one published price list, no intermediary, no surprise line items.
Two practical notes worth stating plainly. First, cash-pay keeps your treatment off an insurance record, which some patients value. Second, we provide superbills, so if you have an HSA or FSA you can seek reimbursement with your own funds on your own terms.
Cash-pay medical weight loss is physician-supervised weight loss care, delivered at published prices paid directly by the patient instead of through insurance. A legitimate cash-pay program includes lab work before prescribing, consultations with a provider licensed in your state, and medication from regulated US pharmacies, with every cost quoted before you commit. The trade is simple: you give up the possibility of insurance coverage and get certainty, speed, and privacy in return.
We are not a wellness spa. We are a precision medical practice. The process reflects that, and every step below has its price attached.
Treatment starts with measurement. Panels start at $99, are ordered during your consultation, and the panel price is your only lab cost: the Quest draw is included, and provider review of your results is included. Quest handles draws statewide, so there is a location near you whether you are in Houston, El Paso, or Amarillo. You also receive your raw results directly from Quest, in addition to your provider’s walkthrough. Details on every panel are on our lab testing page. Already have recent lab work? Bring it. We use recent labs rather than charging you to re-test.
Your initial visit is about 30 minutes, one-on-one, online, with a provider licensed in Texas. Evening and weekend slots are available, and every visit happens from wherever you are. This is a medical evaluation, not a checkout flow: your history, your prior attempts, and your labs all get discussed, because they change what a responsible plan looks like.
If your provider determines that GLP-1 class medication is medically appropriate, the medication is billed separately at pass-through pharmacy pricing, and the exact cost is quoted to you before anything is prescribed. You approve the number first. No bundle, no markup hidden in a membership, no bill you did not see coming.
Follow-up visits are $99 and usually run about 15 minutes. Your provider tracks your labs and your response and adjusts the plan as you go. If you need a prescription refill between scheduled appointments, that carries a flat $10 prescription charge, and now you know about it, because that is the point of this page.
Your first month, in full. Three components, no fourth hiding anywhere. The consultation: $129. Labs: from $99, or $0 if you bring recent lab work we can use. Medication, if prescribed: billed separately at pass-through pharmacy pricing and quoted to you for approval before it is filled. Using the base panel, that is $228 to New Genesis Vitality in your first month, plus a medication cost you will have seen and approved in advance. After the first month, the recurring clinic cost is the $99 follow-up visit. Full details are on our pricing page.
One more disclosure, because complete means complete: if you and your provider later add peptide therapy protocols alongside the weight loss program, that care is billed at the regular Advanced Peptide consultation fees of $199 initial and $149 follow-up. You can read how that category of care works on our online peptide therapy page.
New Genesis Vitality is a physician-led telehealth practice with US Board-Certified Physicians and Practitioners with over 80 years of combined experience. Texas weight-loss consultations are handled by Jeff Beaty, DO, Board-Certified Emergency Medicine, and Jean Davi Pellegalle, APRN, MSN, FNP-C. You will know who you are seeing before you book, which is the same standard we apply to prices.
Weight loss care is one part of what we deliver to Texas patients through a 100% online process. The broader picture, including who is licensed to treat you and how telehealth care works here, is on our Texas telehealth page.
That was deliberate. A program that makes you sit through a sales call to learn the cost has already told you how it plans to treat you. Ours is the opposite bet: publish everything, quote the medication before prescribing, and let the model compete on its merits.
If the numbers work for you, the next step is a 30-minute consultation with a licensed Texas provider, evenings and weekends included. Book a consultation when you are ready. Bring your questions and your recent labs if you have them. Both save you money.
