We offer flexibility of both in person and virtual visits . We recommend the initial visit to in person and follow up visits as telehealth virtual visits.

How OFTEN DO I HAVE TO VISIT ?

During the ‘sprint’ or acute weight loss phase, we recommend weekly or two weekly visits. Once you are in the ‘marathon’ or maintenance phase, the visits will be spaced out to monthly or quarterly.

All visits are 1:1 with Dr Khan.

DO I have to buy additional products ?

Medical Nutrition Therapy or Total Meal Replacement is a dietary strategy we frequently use in the program . The products are Nestle “proprietary brand ” and bought directly from Nestle/Coach Care website. Additionally we might recommend over- the- counter adjuncts and medication prescriptions which will be of additional cost to you. Even when insurance covers the medication you may have to pay a co-pay.

DOES INSURANCE COVER ANY PART OF THE PROGRAM?

We will start accepting some insurance plans by Jan 2025. We will not be able to accept Medicare or Medicaid patients till 2025.

WHAT IF I DONT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM AFTER I HAVE PAID?

Weight management is a highly personal journey. Obesity is a multifactorial, chronic and relapsing disease . Long term disease requires long term management. With this is mind, we let you be in the driver’s seat. Even if you have paid a subscription for the full program you can leave the program at any time. We will charge you on a ‘pay by visit’ basis for the visits completed and refund you the balance.
