How Prescribe FIT Works
To get started with the program, your doctor will first submit a prescription to Prescribe FIT. After that, a member of the Prescribe FIT team will reach out to help you schedule your first appointment. You’ll then be connected with a personal Health Coach who will support you through in-app messaging, weekly phone calls, encouraging conversations, and personalized recommendations. Together, you’ll set health goals and track your progress through daily weigh-ins using a Bluetooth smart scale, meal logging, and increased physical activity with a custom at-home exercise plan. You’ll also have access to educational resources focused on nutrition and healthy habits. Throughout the year, your Health Coach and orthopedic provider will monitor your progress to help you stay on track and achieve long-term health improvements.
Frequently Asked Questions about Prescribe FIT at Raleigh Orthopaedic
Patients with a BMI of 25 and over are eligible for the program. Members should have access to their own smartphone device. Typically, Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance carriers cover the service with little to no financial responsibility to you. Prescribe FIT care team members will help you determine coverage and benefits before enrolling.
Your prescription is for 12 months, and we recommend staying in the program for the full 12 months to fully engrain the lifestyle change.
Studies show that addressing the underlying causes of musculoskeletal and arthritic conditions, rather than just the symptoms, can make a significant difference in your recovery. Even small changes in body weight can have a big impact: losing just one pound can take up to four pounds of pressure off your knees and ten pounds off your back. Pairing this with a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can further reduce pain and discomfort.
This physician-guided program is designed to help you lose weight, manage pain, and improve your overall well-being. With weekly support from a dedicated health coach, personalized exercises, and practical nutrition education, patients see real improvements in their mobility, energy levels, and day-to-day quality of life.
