Overweight & obesity care · Ages 5–17
Clarity is a virtual, in-network extension of your practice. Our pediatricians, behavioral therapists, and dietitians work as one team, with family-based care built on the AAP guidelines.
*Plans vary. Actual cost depends on the family’s insurance coverage.
Who to refer
Not a fit: eating disorders, insulin-dependent diabetes, high-severity psychiatric and/or complex medical comorbidities, or families seeking bariatric surgery evaluation.
Coverage
Among U.S. children ages 10–17, 26.0% of those with Medicaid had obesity, compared with 11.4% of those with private insurance alone (2020–2021 NSCH; KFF analysis)
Clarity is committed to access for every family, with a particular investment in Medicaid coverage.

What research on family-based treatment shows
These results come from published studies of programs like ours. They are not Clarity patient data.
We deliver family-based treatment virtually, in four steps that add up to 26+ hours of care from our behavioral, medical, and dietitian team.
Two 60-minute 1:1 medical visits. Labs as indicated. Parent and child attend. Treatment plan started.
Parent-only group, co-led by a pediatrician and behavioral health clinician.
Builds on Series 1 with advanced skills and a long-term plan. Co-led by the integrated team.
Ongoing 1:1 medical care, 1:1 dietitian visits, and medication management.
A member of our clinical team would be happy to join an upcoming provider meeting to share our care model for obesity, answer questions, and discuss how we can support your patients.

The referral process has been simple, families have had positive experiences, and communication has been excellent, which has made it easy to continue referring.

The movement, what’s going on our plate, and planning around those things — those have been changes that we’ve maintained. I would absolutely recommend this group to any family.

I felt very supported and understood, not only by the professionals there, but also by the parents. Their insight and different perspectives were always helpful.

Where do I submit a referral?
On our HIPAA-secure referral form at claritypediatrics.com. It takes less than 2 minutes; include recent labs if available. We reach out to the family the same day.
Which insurance do you take?
Most commercial plans and Medicaid in California and Texas. In California that covers over 80% of pediatric lives (excluding Kaiser). The average co-pay is about $25 on commercial plans and $0 on Medicaid; cash pay is $70.
How quickly are families seen?
We contact families the same day by email, text and call. There are no waitlists, and most families are seen in less than 2 weeks.
Will I hear back about my patients?
Yes. Patient updates are sent to the referring pediatrician.
Is care in person?
No, it’s fully virtual, so there’s no commute. In the group series, parents attend, not kids.
Who isn’t a good fit?
Children with eating disorders, insulin-dependent diabetes, high-severity psychiatric or complex medical comorbidities, or families seeking bariatric surgery evaluation.
What research is your model based on?
Our care follows the 2023 AAP clinical practice guideline. With IDEO and IDEO.org, we also published Reimagining Childhood Obesity Care, a study of how Medicaid families experience childhood obesity and what they need from care. Read the research →
