OHIP Covered Weight Loss Programs in Ontario
At the MELT Method, our driving force is our commitment to transforming the weight management practice in Ontario. We believe weight loss should be treated like any other chronic medical condition, and not like a quick fix or something you should navigate alone.
That’s why we offer one of Ontario’s most comprehensive OHIP covered weight loss programs, led by specialist physicians and supported by a full team of dieticians, personal trainers and behavioural therapists, all on a mission to create personalized, holistic weight loss programs for Ontario residents.
If you’ve tried dieting, exercise plans, or medication but without lasting success, our approach will provide you with real structure, medical oversight, and long-term support to help you navigate a complex journey that is weight loss.
4 Ways How MELT Method Differs from Other Weight Loss Programs in Ontario
Not all weight loss services are built the same. Many clinics across Ontario focus on speed and volume, meaning short appointments, limited follow-up, and medication-only care. The MELT Method is a physician-led weight loss clinic, designed to solve exactly those gaps.
Here’s how MELT compares to typical weight loss clinics:
- Most weight loss programs in Ontario charge out-of-pocket just for an initial consultation. Meanwhile, MELT Method offers OHIP-covered weight loss programs, so your medical consultation is covered.
- Most weight loss clinics connect you primarily with a nurse practitioner. MELT Method, on the other hand, connects you with specialists trained in obesity and metabolic care
- Most medical weight loss programs focus on prescribing medication with minimal ongoing support, while the MELT Method treats obesity as a medical condition using a full interdisciplinary team featuring doctors, dietitians, personal trainers, and behavioural therapists.
- Most weight loss programs offer limited guidance beyond the prescription while the MELT Method builds a structured, personalized plan around your body and your real struggles, a plan that evolves with you over time!
In essence, at the MELT Method, we combine medical oversight, nutrition, exercise, and behavioural care into one coordinated program. This approach improves outcomes, reduces drop-off, and supports long-term success. Our goal is not to just help you hit your weight goals, but to teach you self-reliance for a lifelong healthy lifestyle.
A Weight Loss Program in Ontario That’s Built for Long-Term Success
As a trusted Ontario-based weight loss clinic, the MELT Method focuses on weight loss that’s built on self-reliance and sustainable actions, and not restriction, guilt, or short-term fixes. Our patients benefit from ongoing monitoring, education, and adjustments to their plan as their needs evolve.
We believe that the biggest issue with weight loss programs in Ontario is a fragmented approach to weight loss. Conventional weight loss programs in Ontario often work in silos, where doctors, dietitians, trainers, and wellness providers operate separately, rarely communicating with one another. For people struggling with obesity, this fragmented approach is not only frustrating but also less effective, more expensive, and rarely patient-centred.
At the MELT Method, we saw firsthand how this lack of coordination leads to gaps in care, conflicting advice, and short-term results, especially in weight management. That’s why the MELT Method was built differently.
At the MELT Method, care is delivered through a coordinated, team-based model that brings together physicians, dietitians, fitness professionals, and behavioural specialists. Each expert contributes a distinct clinical perspective, allowing weight to be addressed medically, physically, and psychologically – with evidence-based guidance rather than trends or misinformation.
Because no two patients are the same, every plan is personalized around your health history, lifestyle, and real-world challenges. Our focus extends beyond short-term results to long-term, sustainable change, treating weight as a chronic medical condition with compassion and clinical integrity. Medication like Wegovy, Zepbound, etc. is used when appropriate, but always integrated with nutrition, movement, and behavioural support as part of our OHIP covered weight loss programs, ensuring care that is structured, supportive, and built on self-reliance for each client.
With hundreds of success stories across the province, our OHIP covered weight loss programs are designed to support you at every stage of your journey.

Yes. Consultations with MELT Method’s specialist physicians are covered by OHIP for eligible Ontario residents. You are not paying out of pocket just to speak with a doctor.
Is this just an Ozempic or Wegovy clinic?
No. While medications like Wegovy or Zepbound may be part of your plan if medically appropriate, MELT Method is not a prescription-only service. It is a comprehensive medical weight loss program that includes diet, exercise, and behavioural support.
Who will I be treated by?
Your care is led by an Ontario-licensed physician specializing in obesity care, supported by registered dietitians, certified personal trainers, and behavioural therapists. The entire team collaborates to ensure your plan is cohesive and personalized.
Do you offer OHIP covered weight loss programs across Ontario?
Yes. MELT Method provides access to care province-wide, making it one of the more accessible weight loss programs in Ontario for individuals seeking structured, physician-led support.
Is medication delivery included?
If medication is prescribed as part of your treatment, it is shipped free to your door anywhere in Ontario. Depending on your insurance coverage, the medication may also be free.
What makes the MELT Method different from other OHIP covered weight loss programs?
The MELT Method’s medical weight loss program offers a multidisciplinary model to obesity care, featuring medications, diet plans, exercise regimens and behavioral therapy, all personalized to each client and priced affordably to ensure every Ontarian gets the chance to achieve their weight loss goals.
What is the Ontario government weight loss program?
Ontario does not operate a single, centralized government weight loss program. Instead, OHIP provides coverage for physician-led medical care related to weight management. Programs like The MELT Method work within this system by offering structured, physician-supervised weight management supported by OHIP-covered medical consultations.
Is Wegovy covered by OHIP for weight loss in Canada?
At this time, Wegovy is not covered by OHIP for weight loss for most patients. Coverage may be available through some private or employer-sponsored insurance plans. At The MELT Method, your physician will review all appropriate medication options and discuss coverage pathways based on your individual health profile and eligibility.
What to say to a doctor to get Ozempic?
There is no specific script to follow. The best approach is to be honest about your weight history, previous attempts at weight loss, and any related health conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes. Your MELT Method physician will determine whether medications or other treatments are clinically appropriate. It’s also important to note that Ozempic is approved for diabetes management, while semaglutide for weight loss is prescribed under the brand name Wegovy and Tirzepatide is sold under the brand name Zepbound.
What is the most effective weight loss medication?
Effectiveness varies from person to person. The most appropriate medication depends on your medical history, health conditions, and treatment goals. Health Canada-approved options for weight loss include injectable medications such as semaglutide (Wegovy), liraglutide (Saxenda), Tirzepatide (Zepbound), as well as oral medications like naltrexone/bupropion (Contrave). At The MELT Method, medication is selected as part of a comprehensive medical plan rather than as a standalone solution.
How to get weight loss medication in Ontario?
Weight loss medications in Ontario must be prescribed by a licensed physician. The MELT Method is a physician-led clinic that prescribes medications such as Wegovy and Zepbound, when appropriate, paired with a personalized, medically supervised care plan.
How do I get free weight loss help in Ontario?
“Free” weight loss support in Ontario typically refers to OHIP-covered medical care. Through The MELT Method, eligible patients can access free, OHIP-covered physician consultations and medically necessary follow-up visits. Getting started begins with a short assessment to determine eligibility and the most appropriate care pathway.
