Physician Consultation
A secure virtual consultation with your DOS physician to review your history, discuss your goals, and assess suitable treatment options.
Individualized Assessment & Care Plan
Your physician designs a tailored weight management plan based on your assessment, including medication options where clinically appropriate.
Laboratory Testing or Additional Investigations (if required)
Where indicated, your physician orders baseline labs — metabolic panel, thyroid, glucose, lipids — to guide and refine your plan.
Ongoing Follow-Up & Program Support
Regular virtual check-ins to monitor progress, adjust dosing, review results, and provide continuous support throughout your program.
03What's included
04Coverage & what's billed
What's covered: physician consultations, requisitioned lab work, Registered Dietitian services, prescriptions written by your DOS physician, and follow-up visits during the program.
What may be patient-pay: certain medications (depending on private insurance), devices, supplements, and any out-of-program services you elect. Your DOS physician will discuss any patient-pay item with you before prescribing — nothing is added to your file without consent.
