What the Membership includes, how medical support works and what it costs – chapter by chapter.

The concept

The basis for each of your therapies

The Weight Doctors® MEMBERSHIP is the structural foundation for each of our therapies: it ensures effective management, progress monitoring, functioning complication management and the necessary connectivity to our treating teams – with access to our specialist doctors.

No diet programme, no trend: the Membership is the modern, digital framework that supports your therapy.

Weight Doctors® adviser in conversation with a patient

“Maintaining weight in the long term is not an event but a process […]. That is exactly what the Weight Doctors® MEMBERSHIP is made for: medical therapy and the tools that support it, from a single source. No promise of a cure – an honest, medically sound framework for your journey.”

Dr. med. Oliver Scheffel, specialist in general and bariatric surgery
Your digital support

All Membership benefits

Digital tools, personal care and convenient access to medical care – the foundation of your therapy period.

The digital centrepiece is the Weight Doctors® App. It shows weight and progress, connects automatically to the Bluetooth body scales and contains your digital recipe book and the e-prescription service. In the middle of it is Weight Doctors® Mira, your AI coach for questions on nutrition and behaviour – a non-medical offering that supports you in everyday life.

Progress becomes visible with the Weight Doctors® 3D Bodyscan. It makes your body composition objectively measurable – up to twice a year, depending on availability at the location – and gives your specialist the basis for the monthly progress check.

The medical component

The Weight Doctors® GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy

At the centre of your programme is medical therapy management: your specialist leads and supports the therapy medically – month by month.

The medical services are billed according to the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ). You receive an individual, GOÄ-compliant statement of costs.

How the therapy works medically and which forms of administration come into question, you can read in detail on the page about Weight Doctors® GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy.

  1. Initial specialist consultationDetailed initial consultation with assessment and review of your suitability as well as determination of the indication by the doctor.
  2. Monthly follow-up consultationMonthly medical follow-up consultation for active ingredient and dosage monitoring as well as analysis and evaluation of your course of therapy.
  3. Individual prescriptionMonthly adjustment of the medication plan and – where medically appropriate – individual prescription with provision of the e-prescription.

All specialists

One basis for all therapies

GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy is one of several paths. With or without medication – the Weight Doctors® MEMBERSHIP forms the basis for medical management, progress monitoring and aftercare. Which path suits you, we find out together in your consultation.

Convenient & digital

How your e-prescription works

After approval by the specialist, we provide your prescription as an e-prescription – entirely paperless. In justified individual cases, a paper-based prescription can also be issued.

If a medication is prescribed on site or via telemedicine, you redeem the prescription at your preferred pharmacy – at the nationwide uniform dispensing price.

  1. Convenient & digitalNo paper prescription needed: it is provided digitally as soon as your doctor has agreed. You receive a barcode that you can redeem practically straight away.
  2. Free choice of pharmacyYou decide where to redeem it – on site at any pharmacy or conveniently online via a mail-order pharmacy.
  3. Clearly regulated processA prescription is never created automatically, but always from an independent medical decision in the individual case after review of your medical history, progress and safety data. There is no entitlement to a particular prescription.
How it works

Your path through the programme

An individual therapy period of 3 to 12 months – medically supported from start to finish, supported by the tools of the Membership.

Who it is for

Is the Membership right for you?

The Weight Doctors® MEMBERSHIP is aimed at people who want to tackle their weight with professional, lasting medical support – rather than alone and with the next diet.

Weight Doctors® adviser laughing during a consultation
  • You have already tried a lot – diets, programmes, again and again on your own – and would like to tackle your weight for the long term: supported rather than alone.
  • You would like reliable support at your side – professional and over months, not just for the first boost of motivation.
  • You do not want to look for your path alone, but to find it together with your specialist – calmly, after a careful medical history.
  • You are already on your way and would like to continue it in an orderly way or let it wind down calmly with support.
Frequently asked questions

Questions and answers

Your question isn’t listed? Your specialist will take time for it during the consultation.

What is the Weight Doctors® MEMBERSHIP?

The Membership is a programme designed for 3 to 12 months and the basis of your Weight Doctors® therapy – for example GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy. It bundles the app with Weight Doctors® Mira, Bluetooth body scales, 3D Bodyscan, prioritised access to specialists, personal 360 coaches and the e-prescription service. The medical service itself – initial consultation, prescription and progress monitoring – is part of your therapy and interlocks with these tools.

What does the Membership cost?

Weight Doctors® GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy with the Membership is available from €599 for 3 months or for €1,399 for 12 months. Included are the specialist initial consultation, the monthly medical support and all Membership benefits; the medical services are billed according to the GOÄ. For existing patients, there is a follow-on package of 3 months from €599.

Are the medication costs included?

No. The medically prescribed medication is not included in the fee. You redeem your e-prescription at a pharmacy of your choice and pay there directly at the nationwide uniform dispensing price. The costs depend on the dosage and pack size determined by your specialist.

How is the e-prescription handled?

After approval by the specialist, you receive your prescription digitally as an e-prescription with a barcode – redeemable at any pharmacy on site or online. A prescription is never created automatically, but always from a medical decision in the individual case; there is no entitlement to a particular prescription. In justified cases, a paper prescription is also possible.

How long does the Membership last and what happens afterwards?

The Membership is designed for 3 to 12 months and can be extended. Afterwards, existing patients can use the 3-month follow-on package – to continue in an unchanged therapy phase or to taper off under control. What makes sense is decided by your doctor after medical review.

How often will I be in contact with my specialist?

After the initial consultation, a medical follow-up consultation takes place every month – by telephone, video or on site. In between, the prioritised access to specialists lets you reach your treatment team without a long wait.

What does Weight Doctors® Mira do?

In the Weight Doctors® App, Mira answers questions about nutrition and behaviour and supports you in everyday life. Mira is a non-medical offering: it does not make diagnoses and does not make decisions about medication – that remains reserved for your specialist.

How often do I get a 3D Bodyscan?

Up to twice a year, depending on availability at our locations. The scan measures your body composition objectively and gives your specialist a basis for progress monitoring.

What is the difference between the medical service and the tools of the Membership?

The medical service covers all decisions and consultations by your specialist – initial consultation, determination of the indication, prescription and monthly progress monitoring, billed according to the GOÄ. The tools of the Membership – app, Weight Doctors® Mira, scales, 3D Bodyscan, coaching and e-prescription service – supply the data for this: they are what make the monthly medical support possible in the first place.

Which forms of administration are possible?

GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy is designed to be independent of any particular medication and can take various forms of administration – for example as an injection or, after market launch, in tablet form. Which form of administration and which medicine are suitable for you is decided individually by your specialist after medical review. You will receive detailed information in your medical consultation and on the page about Weight Doctors® GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy.

Who is the Membership suitable for?

In principle, the therapy comes into question for people with significant overweight – as a rule from a BMI of 30, and from a BMI of 27 where there are weight-related comorbidities such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or type 2 diabetes. It is not suitable, among others, for pregnant or breastfeeding women or in the case of certain pre-existing conditions and intolerances. Whether it is an option for you is clarified by your specialist after a careful medical history; if it is not suitable, we will show you other options.
