FAQ

1. How is this different that the Optifast program offered at the Thunder Bay Hospital?
Patients completing the program through the hospital have access to do it one time in their lifetime, and a big part of the cost is subsidized by the government. This means the patient doesn't have to pay as much as when you're completing the program through a locally-owned, private clinic. However, we have no weight list and less restrictions on the program because it's not government funded.

2. How long is the wait time to get into the program?
There is absolutely no wait list. Our team is ready to get you started on the program as soon as you are ready to!

3. Is the program covered by insurance?
Oak cannot direct bill the program to insurance plans, but we have seen patients in the past have success with submitting the
program receipts to their insurnace and some plans will reimburse portions or all of it.
