Unlike other weight loss programs, we do not hide our costs, nor will we ever require any long-term contracts.
Because our programs use a high protein meal replacement as your complete or main source of nutrition and because the amount of meal replacements required daily varies patient-to-patient, meal replacement costs may vary. The amount of meal replacements is medically determined for each patient and is a requirement while on the diet. That said, most patients will pay only between $11.55 and $15.00 per day for meal replacements! Keep in mind this is your total source of nutrition, replacing your current food costs.
Program costs vary a great deal depending on your health provider, your health plan, regular co-pay, etc. For PPO’s, we are currently contracted as an in-network for the following insurers:
- Blue Shield PPO
- Anthem Blue Cross PPO
- Cigna PPO
- Sutter Select PPO
- Sutter Specialty Network
- Sutter West Medical Group
- Sutter Medical Group
- Sutter Independant Physicians
- InterPlan PPO
- United Healthcare PPO
- PacifiCare PPO
Many of our patients contribute co-pay plus the affordable cost of food. Patients are also able to use their Flexible Spending Accounts as well as Health Savings Accounts toward their program fees since our program is medically supervised.
If you don’t see your insurance company’s name on this list, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t be covered. The best thing to do is call 916-978-0300 ext. 1 or e-mail sbell@keepitoff.com to find out what benefit coverage your insurance plan offers and to get a precise weekly or monthly breakdown on costs.
Also, if you would rather meet with us in person, see the facilities, learn more about the program, and receive some samples of the meal replacement, you can sign up for a free info-session available in all three of our locations.
In comparing The Hernried Center Weight Loss Programs to other popular alternatives (Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, South Beach Diet or Nutri Systems, for example), you will find that our rates are often less expensive than any other meal-substitution programs. This is astonishing when you consider that:

- Our clients benefit from the fastest rate of weight loss (3-5 lbs per week)
- We have 5 times better long term results
- We provide a comprehensive program with intensive behavioral support and training
