We are proud to announce the launch of the Alliance Healthcare Initiative!
The Alliance Healthcare Initiative is a collaborative effort with national medical associations, leading insurers and employers to offer comprehensive health benefits to children and families for the prevention, assessment, and treatment of childhood obesity.
Through this program, doctors will be reimbursed for bringing children back for follow-up visits and for working with them on the adoption of healthy behaviors. Registered dietitians will also be reimbursed for providing in depth nutrition counseling over multiple visits to those children that are referred by their doctors. By working together, doctors and RDs will help children and their families adopt healthier eating habits to improve their health and weight. Participating companies will have access to materials and resources developed by the Alliance to inform parents about childhood obesity prevention and treatment.
