Does my insurance cover any part of the program's cost?

Many of our locations are now accepting insurance and offer in-network providers with major carriers. Because our program is physician-supervised and evidence based, certain services provided - such as the Initial Consultation, Office Visit, and Preventive Medical Counseling - may be covered by a patient’s insurance plan.

Please check with your insurance provider to determine whether your treatment is eligible for reimbursement. Many of our locations welcome HSA and FSA accounts.

I went from a size 22 to a size 6! I now love to go shopping and even do some modeling on the side.
