The Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease, is an intensive program for patients who meet the medical criteria for participation: coronary artery disease, Type I or Type II diabetes, or being at high risk of heart disease.

The Ornish approach does not use drugs or surgery, but relies upon diet, physical activity, group support and counseling as part of an intensive life style change program. Applicants are screened by their local participating Ornish hospital to determine if they meet the medical criteria for participation: coronary artery disease, Type I and Type II diabetes, or at high risk of heart disease.

The program is covered at 100% after a participant copayment of $50 per month. Participants with annual household income below $20,000 per year may qualify for a copayment waiver.
