Obesity treatment with NYCE IPA

Clindle clinicians are in-network with NYCE IPA and clinicians treat obesity over a same-day video visit. Most NYCE IPA members pay only their standard office-visit copay.

About Obesity

Obesity is a chronic disease with treatable biology — not a lack of willpower. BMI ≥30 (or ≥27 with comorbidity) qualifies for medical weight management. Clindle screens for contraindications, orders baseline labs, and prescribes evidence-based options — metformin, bupropion-naltrexone (Contrave), GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy, compounded) and tirzepatide (Zepbound). We do monthly check-ins to titrate dose, manage side effects, and adjust based on response. Compounded phentermine is available through our $100 program, prescribed by clinicians licensed and authorized for your state.

NYCE IPA coverage at Clindle

Clindle accepts NYCE IPA plans. Members can book video visits with Clindle clinicians under their plan's benefits. We verify your NYCE IPA coverage and quote your expected cost before you book.

We verify your specific NYCE IPA plan before the visit and tell you the expected out-of-pocket cost up front. If your plan doesn't cover telehealth, you can use the flat $50 self-pay rate instead.
