Program

Diabetes Reversal Group Visits

Evidence-based group medical visits designed to help you lower your A1c, reduce medications, and take control of type 2 diabetes — led by a board-certified lifestyle medicine physician and covered by insurance.

What Are Group Visits?

A smarter model for diabetes care that actually works

Group medical visits bring together a small cohort of patients who share a common diagnosis and walk through a structured curriculum together — led by Dr. Motley, a board-certified lifestyle medicine physician.

Using a flipped classroom approach, you review educational materials before each session so that your time with Dr. Motley is spent on discussion, problem-solving, and hands-on application rather than passive lectures. Each visit includes a medical check-in, lab review, and medication adjustment as needed.

This is not a diet program or a wellness seminar. It is real medical care — billed to your insurance just like a standard physician visit — with the added benefit of peer support, longer face time with your doctor, and a proven curriculum rooted in the science of lifestyle medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Diabetes Reversal Group Visit program

Is this covered by insurance?
Yes. Our group visits are billed as medical visits, not wellness coaching, which means most commercial insurance plans, Medicare, and many Medicaid plans cover them. We verify your benefits before you begin so there are no surprises. You will be responsible for any applicable copays or coinsurance, just as you would for a standard office visit.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
A referral is not required to join the program, though some insurance plans may request one. You are welcome to self-refer. We also coordinate closely with your existing primary care provider so everyone stays on the same page regarding your care.
What if I am on insulin?
Patients on insulin are welcome and often see significant results. Dr. Motley monitors your blood glucose closely throughout the program and adjusts medications as your numbers improve. Safety is our top priority, and medication changes are always made under direct physician supervision.
How is this different from a diet program?
This is not a diet program. It is a physician-led medical program that uses evidence-based lifestyle interventions as the primary treatment for metabolic disease. You receive real medical care including lab work, medication management, and ongoing physician oversight. The lifestyle changes we teach are grounded in peer-reviewed research from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
Can I keep seeing my current doctor while doing this?
Absolutely. We encourage it. Dr. Motley works alongside your existing healthcare team, not as a replacement. After each visit cycle, we send a summary to your primary care provider so they can see your progress and coordinate any ongoing care.
What happens after the 12 weeks?
Graduation is just the beginning. After the initial 12-week program, you will have the option to join our maintenance group visits, which meet monthly to help you sustain your progress, troubleshoot challenges, and stay connected with your cohort. Many of our patients continue in maintenance for a year or more.
