About NP- and PA-led weight loss care
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants can evaluate patients and prescribe GLP-1 medications in most states (some states require physician collaboration). NP- and PA-led weight loss clinics are often more accessible and lower-cost than physician specialists, with the same medications and structured follow-up.
Asking about GLP‑1 treatment at Rochester General Hospital
Call (315) 359-2820 and ask these questions before booking:
- ✓Do you currently prescribe GLP‑1 medications (semaglutide or tirzepatide) for weight loss?
- ✓Do you work with my insurance, or is the program cash-pay — and what does a month cost all-in?
- ✓Is the medication a brand-name product, or compounded by a compounding pharmacy?
- ✓What follow-up is included for dose changes and side effects?
About compounded medications: A compounded drug is prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality, and they are not the same as FDA-approved generic drugs. Ask any practice which it dispenses and which pharmacy prepares it.
