Medical Weight Management

What it is

Kaiser Permanente’s Medical Weight Management program is a serious, health-conscious solution for managing your weight—a solution that treats the whole you, not just your weight. If you’ve already tried various diets that didn’t work for you, and have at least 40 pounds to lose, you may be a good candidate for our Medical Weight Management program.

How it works

You will have access to a program designed to help you lose weight through the following: weekly group support, medical supervision, a low-calorie diet and education in lifestyle modification, nutrition, and exercise.  With these key components, you soon can be on the road to better health and vitality, with professionals to help you every step of the way.

Our Medical Weight Management program combines the expertise of The Permanente Medical Group and the Optifast® meal replacement system to help you lose weight rapidly and safely. And you’ll receive the same high-quality care and service you expect from Kaiser Permanente for all your health needs.

The Kaiser Permanente Medical Weight Management program is provided on a fee-for-service basis and is not covered by Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc.  The program is designed for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30-40.  You will be prescreened by the Medical Directors to determine eligibility for the program.  Please contact your Primary Care Physician for more information.
