Health Express Clinics, Lewisville, Texas
A family medicine practice in Lewisville, Texas, where a named board-certified physician personally evaluates GLP-1 candidates. It accepts insurance including Medicare plans, publishes the standard BMI criteria, and — unusually for this directory — presents phentermine, Contrave and Qsymia as real options alongside semaglutide and tirzepatide, including as bridge therapy while an insurance approval is pending. Monitoring is monthly with lab rechecks every three to six months.

Someone in Texas who wants a physician they can sit in front of, wants to use insurance, and wants the cheaper older medications considered rather than dismissed.
Cost, mostly, and this practice is unusually willing to say so — it publishes phentermine at $10 to $25 for a thirty-day supply against GLP-1 prices that run into the hundreds. It also presents it as bridge therapy while an insurance approval is pending, and as an option for patients who cannot use injections. The trade-off is real: phentermine is a short-term appetite suppressant with far smaller average weight loss than semaglutide or tirzepatide, and it is not a like-for-like substitute.
Yes — the practice publishes a list of accepted insurers including Medicare plans, and states it provides insurance navigation support, with discount cards or coupons for patients without coverage. In a category where nearly every telehealth seller is cash-pay by design, that is the main reason to consider a practice like this over a national platform.
The published cadence is monthly check-ins, in person or by telehealth, with lab rechecks every three to six months and a named board-certified physician evaluating every GLP-1 candidate. That is more structured than the asynchronous questionnaire model most of this directory runs on, though the site does not publish what any of it costs.
