There is no single fixed onsite-visit schedule for every non-AHCA weight-loss practice. The appropriate level of onsite involvement depends on the clinic structure, services, staff, risks, and applicable framework. MFMD deliberately does not use a remote-only model — every relationship begins with an in-person visit and initial facility assessment.

Does the engagement start with an in-person visit?
Every new relationship begins with an in-person visit to the brick-and-mortar practice — to meet leadership and staff, see the physical environment, understand patient flow and how medications move through the clinic, see where evaluation and treatment occur, and identify initial governance priorities. This is a collaborative facility and governance assessment, not a regulatory investigation.
Which governance functions can be handled remotely afterward?
Once the clinic is understood, many governance functions can be handled remotely when appropriate — meetings, document review, chart/quality review, service-line review, escalation, and clinical governance communication.
When do additional onsite visits happen?
Additional visits happen at the clinic’s request, when an operational or clinical issue warrants it, when a major service line changes, after a significant event, or when the physical workflow materially changes. For AHCA clinics, MFMD may participate in Medical Director pre-survey readiness focused on the physician-governance responsibilities — not the AHCA consultant’s administrative work.
Owner takeaway
The physician doesn’t need to occupy an office in your clinic every day to provide meaningful governance — but the Medical Director should understand the clinic being directed and be able to become physically involved when it matters.
