Unlike many other services that use online coaches to provide support, Mora uses highly specialized plant-based physicians to provide licensed medical care in a group setting. This results in much higher compliance and adherence. Patients are far more likely to listen to their doctors, rather than a online coach.
Licensed Medical Care
Our physicians are licensed in all 50 states to provide medical care. We are HIPAA certified, and carry all necessary insurance and certifications.
Labs & Blood Work
We remotely monitor patient health data using RPM devices and blood work. Blood work is done at the start and end of the 10 weeks, so patients can see the real improvements their biomarkers have made.
Deprescribe Medications
As patient's biomarkers improve, our physicians will work with them to safely lower and possibly completely deprescribe medications.
Our group model allows patients to get increased facetime with their physicians. Compared to a traditional 15 min doctor visit, our patients get 10 hours of facetime with their physician in the first 10 weeks.
Patients in the group keep each other accountable and provide support and motivation. It takes a lot of effort to make life long meaningful changes and our group model excels at providing the best environment for this.

Answers to frequently asked questions by companies evaluating if Mora is a good fit for their organization.
View frequently asked questions for patientsMora is billed as a standard primary care visit via insurance. If your company is self insured we can discuss a direct cash pay agreement. Estimated at $250 per active patient, per month as needed. If you’d like us to go through your insurance, we will just bill the carrier directly. No out of pocket cost to your company.
Most programs, albeit with good intentions, never see the promised uptick. They usually only get 1% of the company using them. Mora is different— due to the social, group-based nature of the program patients tend to recruit their co-workers after seeing their own results. Adoption of the program therefore happens organically within the organization. Mora is also not meant for all your employees. It's a specialized service meant for those that need medical intervention for chronic disease. Roughly this amounts to 20-30% of employees.
Mora Medical, PLLC is a licensed medical provider and will enter into a Business Associate Agreement with your company. All patient health information will be protected per HIPAA regulations. Our team is licensed to practice medicine in their respective states, and we can provide medical care in all 50 states, including DC. We also carry medical malpractice and other insurance coverages.
Mora is fundamentally different in 2 ways:
Specialized Physicians: Other vendors provide care via self-serve apps assisted by online coaches. These coaches are not medical personnel and communicating with them almost feels like talking to a chat bot. If you don’t believe us, ask them some controversial questions like "should I drink milk?" or, "can I adjust my insulin?" and you’ll get generic copy paste answers. This is because they can’t give medical advice. Mora is different - we only provide care via specialized physicians. And because they are respected physicians, they get far higher compliance and adherence rates as patients really trust their doctors.
Business Model: Our goal is to reverse chronic disease as efficiently as possible so that patients can get healthy and remain healthy for their foreseeable future. We do not aim to ‘manage’ disease as most vendors and pharma companies do hoping to charge a monthly fee for years and years. Our best patient is one that no longer needs our service.
Yes, we’re open to various captive models where we provide the service for free and get paid based on total patient savings. For each employee that is type 2 diabetic and is able to reverse, you save on average $9000/year.
We have an internal marketing team that can help with promotions and initial adoption. After the initial push, we find patients will recruit their co-workers since they can’t stop talking about how good they feel.
None. Mora Medical takes on the liability as a licensed medical provider for the service.
