TOTALLY THERE FOR YOU

Weight Management Program

In a continuing effort to provide our members with quality service, Total Health Care

has developed a free 12 week Weight Management Program through Weight

Watchers®. Please note the physician’s remuneration is not affected. This program

is designed to assist our members in making healthy lifestyle changes. The program

is geared toward individuals 13 years and older with high BMIs. When a physician

identifies a patient that is a candidate for weight management, Total Health Care

requests that the primary care physician submit a prescription requesting that the

member attend Weight Watchers®.

The prescription can be faxed to 313.748.1368

The prescription can be scanned and then e-mailed to Qi1@THCmi.com

The prescription can be mailed to the weight management coordinator at:

Total Health Care, Inc. 3011 W. Grand Blvd., Suite 1600 Detroit, MI 48202

The prescription MUST include:

Member’s name

Date of birth or Total Health Care ID number

Written approval to join Weight Watchers®

Height and weight

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Co-morbidities (medical conditions, if any). For children ages 13 - 16, include normal weight for the child based on their age and height!

If eligible, the member will be sent a contract to sign and mail back in the

envelope provided. The signed contract can also be faxed to the number on

the previous page. Once the contract is received, Weight Watchers® will mail the

member a 12 week paid invoice with a Weight Watchers® Thinline magazine.

(The magazine will include a list of all the Weight Watchers® locations and

meeting times.)
