Optional follow up individual visits can be scheduled with one of our lifestyle medicine specialists, exercise experts, or health coaches to review your progress, and set personal goals for your continued new healthy lifestyle! These optional individual visits will be billed to insurance. Co-pays may apply, depending on your insurance plan.
Other Requirements
If you are on medication or have a significant illness, you need to be under the care of a primary health care provider (PCP), or be willing to begin a relationship with a PCP. (We can help you locate one!)
