Business POV

When insurance policies won't cover a medical condition exacerbated by weight issues, patients turn to places like Mike George Fitness. Last year, the exercise clinic teamed up with Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers to offer an 8-week program for people who need to shed pounds before they can get better.

The "Accelerated Weight Loss Program" combines four components, i.e., fitness, cardiovascular exercise, nutrition guidance and mental health evaluation to help medically referred patients lose weight. The program costs $2,999 and runs 8 weeks.
