Hi!! Welcome to my Concierge Telehealth Practice- EvWillHelp. I am glad you are being proactive with your health and hopefully I can help!!
Scroll down below the dotted line to see my UPDATES!
————————————————————-
*** As of April 28…. Since the FDA has stated that the shortage of the commercially available tirzepatide(Zepbound/Mounjaro) is no longer on the shortage list, no additional compounding of tirzepatide nationwide is allowed beyond 3/19, however, I can prescribe Zepbound (commercially available tirzepatide) for my patients with no insurance coverage through Lilly Direct at a discounted rate. You can pay via credit card or an HSA/FSA card and it’s shipped directly to your home. Compounding pharmacies are allowed to sell out their remaining stock, so if that is something you’re interested in, please let me know.
Similarly regarding the commercially available semaglutide(Wegovy/Ozempic), the FDA states the shortage is over so there is a nationwide halt for compounded semaglutide as of April 22. I can prescribe Wegovy direct from the manufacturer at a discounted rate. Compounding pharmacies are allowed to sell out their remaining stock, so if that is something you’re interested in, please let know.
Highlights:
1. Ask me about updates regarding liraglutide pricing and availability.
2. Other GLP options include: a.)ordering a larger quantity of tirzepatide or semaglutide. b.)transitioning from tirzepatide to semaglutide or liraglutide injections. c.)Semaglutide compounded oral drops.
3. Recheck your insurance for 2025 coverage of Zepbound or Wegovy or Saxenda through the customer service number on your insurance card. For guidance on the specific medications, use these links below. If it asks for your provider, enter Evelyn Kikta in Tarpon Springs FL.
4. For Zepbound https://zepbound.lilly.com/coverage-savings
5. For Wegovy - https://www.novocare.com/obesity/products/wegovy/check-coverage.html
6. For Saxenda - https://www.novocare.com/obesity/products/saxenda/check-coverage.html
7. Let me order your Zepbound vials for you (not auto injectors) from Lilly Direct (2.5mg is $349 for 4 weeks, 5.0mg is $499 for 4 weeks. 7.5mg and 10mg vials are $499 for the first fill and refills IF refills are done within 45 days of previous fill. Otherwise the 7.5mg is $599 and the 10mg is $699.)
8. Let me order your Wegovy for you from NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy direct from NovoNordisck) All strengths $499 a month.
9. Switch to the generic compounded Liraglutide (name brand Saxenda, Victoza)
10. Consider adding prescription lipotrophic injections to help with energy, cravings, nausea, etc.
11. Consider LDN capsules(low dose naltrexone) for help with cravings, nighttime snacking, anti inflammatory, and “anti-aging,” benefits.
12. Consider NAD+ injections (a peptide - nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) Benefits- “anti-aging”, improved metabolism, cellular improvement, increased energy, improved cognition.
13. Information on ivermectin. Although NOT technically for weight loss, some patients find that Ivermectin reduces inflammation, which makes some people “feel better” and more apt to increase their exercise/movement. Originally indicated as an anti parasitic agent, new information is showing additional benefits, especially in “long covid” symptoms.
14. Regarding skin health matters, ask me about Tretinoin
15. Sermorelin therapy- a synthetic peptide that helps stimulate your pituitary glad to increase your own “growth hormone” to hopefully help with fat metabolism, muscle mass, weight management, energy levels, sex drive, skin elasticity, cognitive function, etc. Dosage recommendations are nightly subQ injections, sublingual oral troches, or a nasal spray.

Ask me for updated pricing on my Programs that include semaglutide, tirzepatide, BioBoost Lipotrophic Injections, LDN (low dose naltrexone), NAD+ injections, Glutathione injections, Ivermectin capsules, Sermorelin.

I check messages often, but will respond to nonurgent messages in 48 hours. If it is truly urgent, you can always text my cell so I get an additional notification.
For urgent healthcare needs, if I don’t respond in a timely manner, don’t hesitate to follow up at your local urgent care.
For now, I am available to my patients 7 days a week, however I DO have to sleep, eat, exercise, go to church, spend time with my family, etc. (LOL!) So - I get a notification if you send me a message through here or if you Request a Medication from your dashboard. I try to respond to messages in between my other patients, and if I see an urgent need, I will try to respond quickly. If for some reason I don’t respond within 24 hours, please message me again! Or sooner if you need me ASAP. Please understand that I never want to ignore something that is important to YOU! If you are not feeling well, I definitely do not want you to wait!!! (I have a lot of patients who work night shifts, so messaging on here anytime is fine…..I will receive the notification in morning)
Messages can easily get buried on here when things get busy, but I NEVER want to miss your message! And it can get VERY busy....so forgive my typos, my talk-to text blunders, and if I seem abrupt I'm probably just moving fast :) Once a patient is established with my practice, I can offer telephone and video consultations as well as provide you my cell number for texting or calling in an emergency.
Topics I can help with.....Health and Wellness, Weight Loss, Women's Health, Compassionate Health Education, Nutrition, Weight Management, Nutritional supplement guidance, Covid care, UTIs, sinus infections, URIs, etc. There are other compounding options as well, that many of my patients benefit from, so ask me if these are appropriate for YOU - semaglutide, tirzepatide, BioBoost Lipotrophic Injections, LDN (low dose naltrexone), NAD+ injections, Glutathione injections, Ivermectin capsules, Sermorelin.
For now, I am only accepting NEW patients that reside in or are visiting Florida. For any potential exceptions, please message me directly.
For my weight management program- All the weight loss plans require reevaluation and update every month. (Not everyone qualifies for everything.)
As long as some dosages of Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are in short supply, the FDA will allow the compounded generic options. I only utilize FDA inspected and approved compounding pharmacies.
Lately, some compound pharmacies I recommend have improved their turnaround times for me (specifically for semaglutide, tirzepatide, and BioBoost Plus) to 7 business days!
Regarding Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic, if you think you have insurance coverage for these meds and you qualify medically for one of these medications, I will write this prescription for you, but I cannot guarantee that any pharmacy has it or that any insurance company will pay for it yet. So keep that in mind when you agree to pay my service fee. My service fees are not refundable. But know the compounded generic options ARE available. Thanks!
Regarding needing a Prior Authorization for a medication: So I’m sure you understand I can’t do a prior authorization on a medication until it is prescribed. So when you are ready, request the medication here. If it is medically appropriate for you, I’ll prescribe it, and when the pharmacy receives the prescription, they will attempt to run it through your insurance, and a prior authorization will be initiated by the pharmacy. Then I receive the part that I need to complete (as the prescriber) and we go from there. I may need recent lab results to complete it for you so try to get those or I can order for you.
Also, depending on the complexity of your prior authorization process, I may have to charge patients for my time. Since I’m not a provider for your insurance company, and you are using my services outside of your insurance, I have no easy access to all of the information I will need to gather to complete the PA. Some of the prior authorizations take well over an hour plus multiple faxes and phone calls on my part. Hopefully it won’t be difficult! But, I will be upfront with you. If it is a “simple” PA, that's great and there is no additional charge. But if it ends up being super complex, I will invoice you for my service fee once it gets to that point. I will be very transparent with you about that. Some insurance companies will rule on the PA within 72 hours, while others take 30 days.
For most of my patients, the Push Health “app” is the best way to use the features on here, but you can use a computer as well. You can download the app at any time. There is a new Android update so that should help my Android patients.
My supplement site now has an app! So much easier to access your supplement options and all my patients receive my discount. Lookup “FullScript” for Apple or in the Google Play store and log in. Usually orders place before 3pm on business days will ship the same day. Orders placed after 3pm or the weekend will ship the next business day. And orders over $50 can ship for free.
