Once you're stable and thriving on your treatment, you may qualify for our maintenance program — a simpler rhythm of care designed for long-term success.
At Lavender Sky Health, we want care to feel as simple as it is effective. The maintenance program recognizes patients who have reached a steady, successful place in their treatment — and gives them the room to keep going with less paperwork and fewer follow-ups.
This page explains what maintenance is, who qualifies, and how to talk with your provider about it.
What does "maintenance" mean?
Being categorized as a maintenance patient means you are no longer actively adjusting your medication dose and have reached a stable treatment plan that's working well for you.
Typically, maintenance patients:
Have met or are maintaining their treatment goals
Are stable on their current medication and dose
Are tolerating treatment well without needing frequent adjustments
How does maintenance affect my care?
Maintenance simplifies your follow-up rhythm without changing what's working.
Patients categorized as maintenance:
Only need a provider follow-up once every 12 months instead of every 6 months
May continue refilling at the same dose, tier, or plan while on maintenance
May also refill an equivalent plan option when appropriate (for example, Tier 2 or a Momentum Plan equivalent)
If your treatment needs change in the future, your provider can always reassess and adjust your plan.
Who is a good candidate for maintenance?
Maintenance is individualized and determined by your provider based on your medical history and treatment response.
Patients who may be good candidates often:
Have achieved their treatment goals or reached a stable weight
Have remained on a consistent dose for a period of time
Are looking for a longer-term treatment approach without frequent dose changes
How do I request maintenance status?
To be considered for maintenance, request it during a follow-up consultation.
Your provider will review:
Your dose and titration history
Weight trends and treatment progress
Medication tolerance and side effects
Overall treatment stability and safety
The goal is to determine whether it's appropriate and safe for you to transition to less frequent follow-up visits.
Why might I not be approved for maintenance yet?
Not every patient is ready for maintenance at the same time — and not being approved does not mean you cannot stay on your current treatment plan.
Your provider may recommend more frequent follow-up if there are factors that need closer monitoring, such as:
Ongoing dose adjustments
Recent side effects or tolerability concerns
Significant recent weight changes
Certain medical or clinical history considerations
For example, patients with a lower-normal BMI may still qualify for maintenance, but some patients may benefit from closer follow-up depending on their individual history and needs. These decisions are made with your safety and long-term success in mind.
YES — ABSOLUTELY
Can I stay on the same dose even if I'm not approved for maintenance?
Maintenance status only determines how frequently you need provider follow-up visits. Even if you are not categorized as maintenance, you may still remain on the same medication, dose, or plan if your provider feels it's appropriate for your treatment.
THAT'S OK
What if I need to change my dose later?
That is completely okay. If you are categorized as maintenance and later need to:
Increase your dose
Decrease your dose
Change plans or treatment approach
You'll simply complete a follow-up consultation so your provider can reassess your care and make any needed adjustments.
At that point, you'd return to active treatment status and resume standard follow-up timing (typically every 6 months) until maintenance becomes appropriate again.
