# What appointments can I expect as I go through the Better Health Program?

{% step %}

#### Group Intro Call

The Group Intro Call is an information session for you if you are interested in joining the Better Health Program. During this session, you will receive an overview of how the program works, how to prepare for participation, and what it takes to be successful.

At the end of the session, you will receive an invitation to complete the onboarding process for the Better Health Program. You are not obligated to complete onboarding if you decide not to proceed.

You must attend one Group Intro Call if you wish to proceed with onboarding.

Once onboarding is complete, the following are the appointments you can expect as you progress through the Better Health Program, listed in the order they typically occur.

{% endstep %}

### Initial Consultation

The Initial Consultation is a one-on-one intake appointment between you and a LifestyleRx physician. The purpose of this appointment is to get to know you better through a review of your medical history and Wellness Questionnaire.

Please note that completion of the questionnaires is required, while lab work is optional at this stage.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Report Review

An Initial Consultation is required before you are eligible to book a Report Review appointment.

To proceed with a Report Review, you must:

* Complete your questionnaires, and
* Complete your lab work.

Once these have been received, the LifestyleRx physician will send you a report summarizing your lab results and questionnaire responses, along with an invitation to book a Report Review appointment to discuss the results.

{% hint style="info" %}
*Note: The appointment is booked directly through the report.*
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Action Plan

Near the end of the 12-week program (Action Plan tasks are sent in Week 10), you will be invited to repeat your questionnaires and lab work.

Once the results are received, the LifestyleRx physician will invite you to book an Action Plan appointment. During this appointment, you will:

* Review your progress since starting the program
* Discuss next steps to support your ongoing health goals
* Establish your recall interval (how often the LifestyleRx physician would like to see you to monitor your progress)

Following the appointment, you will receive an updated report summarizing your progress and recommended next steps.
