Abstract
The practice of lifestyle medicine is different than typical medical practices. Reimbursement systems are strong drivers of practice models. Lifestyle Medicine Solutions (LMS) has developed a primary care lifestyle medicine practice that implements: 1) a new clinical care model, and 2) innovative reimbursement strategies. The key assumptions, care model, reimbursement model and financial partners used by LMS are discussed. To achieve the promise that lifestyle medicine brings for decreasing both the chronic disease burden and rising health care costs, new lifestyle medicine delivery models must continue to be explored and implemented. The goal is for the lifestyle medicine choice to be available to each patient and each provider.
