Below is a possible scenario for the most popular program; the VLCD for a patient being prescribed a 800 calorie diet, which consists of 8 packets of RFO formula per day:
- Initial visit $150 for clinic fees plus $100 for nutritional products for one week - $232.00 total other charges are $12 (cash) parking and prescription charges at personal pharmacy (usually monthly)
- Following Week starts monthly fee $295 plus $100 for nutritional products for one week - $375 other charges are $12 (cash) for parking and prescription charges at personal pharmacy (usually monthly)
- Subsequent weekly visits until monthly fee is due - $100 for nutritional products for one week other charges are $12 (cash) for parking and prescription charges at personal pharmacy (usually monthly)
This typical VLCD patient pays approximately $575 per month not including pharmacy fees. Most patients find this to be far less than the dollar amount typically spent monthly on food.
