This program will be open to anyone over the age of 16 who is interested in losing weight.
The program will not only provide participants with a dietary plan for weight loss but will also provide tools for effective psychological behavior modification.
Requirements
Before the participant can enter the weight loss program, medical clearance needs to be obtained either from the participant’s own Primary Care Physician (PCP) or the program's PCP. The "Weight Loss Medical Evaluation and Clearance" form must be completed by the participant’s own PCP and reviewed by the program's PCP before the participant can schedule the initial appointment with the psychologist and dietitian.
If Cleveland Clinic in Florida accepts participant’s insurance, the program's PCP's visit for clearance can be billed through the insurance.
Length of Program
The program will run for 9 weeks. The appointment will be done one-on-one on Wednesday with the dietitian (60 minutes) and the psychologist (75 minutes). These will be scheduled back-to-back.
Appointments 2 through 9 will be in a group setting and will meet on Monday for 60 minutes with the nutritionist and for 60 minutes with the psychologist. These group appointments will also be back-to-back. Participants will register at desk 23/24 to get weighed in by the dietitian. The groups will be held in a David Jagelman Center conference room.
Cost of Program
The fee will be $590 for all 9 weeks of both services payable at the first visit. This program will not be covered by insurance.
