NYU Langone Weight Management

NYU Langone Health

What stands out

  • Publishes financial assistance information — the only providers in this directory that do so are the academic health systems.
  • Uses meal replacements as part of a structured supervised programme rather than medication alone, which is closer to how the trials were run.
  • Academic medical centre governance is a different category from direct-to-consumer telehealth.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

  • Check insurance acceptance and ask about financial assistance if cost is a barrier.
  • Expect a longer intake than a telehealth form — that is the point.

May suit

People who want comprehensive supervised care and can access the New York region.

Limitations

  • Geographically limited.
  • Slower to access than telehealth.
