The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recognizes the importance of lifestyle interventions such as diet, physical activity, stress management, and emotional wellness in the prevention and management of common conditions seen in family medicine. The AAFP advocates for the payment of evidence-based, lifestyle medicine interventions, regardless of setting, including physician practices and community-based locations. The AAFP supports waiving patient cost sharing for shared medical appointments or group medical visits that utilize lifestyle medicine in chronic disease management and having the full allowed amount paid to the practice by the patient's health insurance (either public or private), where applicable.
