Shared Medical Appointments (SMA) are a unique appointment held in the company of others who share similar health concerns. Most SMAs (excluding Acupuncture) are held over a series of appointments, held each week at a specific time with the same group of patients. These appointments will teach you how to improve your health and well-being through lifestyle changes.
These appointments offer you extended time with medical practitioners and lifestyle medicine providers, in the company of others who share similar health concerns. More information is often exchanged during a SMA than in an individual office visit as participants learn from each other’s comments and interactions with experts. SMA participants also benefit from the support of others in the group. Shared medical appointments are covered by most insurance plans. Participants are responsible for insurance copays at each appointment and depending on the program, a one-time charge for program materials.
