Physician-led weight loss for Baton Rouge, without the drive

Chronos does not have an office in Baton Rouge. What we have is a physician-led GLP-1 program that has treated more than 10,000 patients, and a telehealth version of it that serves the Capital Region the same way it serves Metairie: a real provider on video, medication shipped to your door, and follow-up with someone who knows your chart. Patients in Baton Rouge, Prairieville, Denham Springs, Zachary, Central, Gonzales, Walker and Baker use it without ever crossing the Basin.

How the Baton Rouge telehealth program works

Meet with a Louisiana Provider
Step 1

Meet with a Louisiana Provider

Start with a video consultation from anywhere in Louisiana. Your provider will review your health history, medications, and goals, then decide with you whether a GLP-1 is appropriate. You must be physically in Louisiana during the visit. The consultation is free if you choose the compounded medication option; a $99 fee applies if you choose the brand-name option.

  • Real provider, real conversation
  • Personalized medical review
  • No travel required

Get answers before deciding what’s right for you.

Choose Your Medication
Step 2

Choose Your Medication

If medication is appropriate, you and your provider will choose a treatment path. Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide can be shipped to your door with shipping included. For brand-name medication, we’ll send the prescription to your preferred pharmacy and handle the prior authorization process.

  • Options tailored to you
  • Convenient medication access
  • Help with prior authorizations

We’ll explain your options and what each one costs.

Stay Connected
Step 3

Stay Connected

Your provider will check in with you by video every 6 weeks to review your progress, address side effects, and adjust your dose when appropriate. Follow-ups are included with the compounded medication option. For brand-name medication, provider visits are $99 per month, and the pharmacy bills your medication separately.

  • Virtual check-ins included
  • Dose and side-effect support
  • Care that adjusts with you

You’ll have a team to turn to as your needs change.
