About the Care Program

Our goal with patient care programs inside SeriousMD is to give added value to your patients and improve patient outcomes.

This new program, WeighNow Saxenda Patient Program, provides patients an end to end support system in their weight management journey. Free delivery of the starter kit inclusive o f a starter dose and needles is provided to an eligible patient prescribed with liraglutide (Saxenda®) 3.0 mg as well as access to a dedicated obesity nurse educator hotline. (This program is currently open to doctors in NCR.)

Each enrolled doctor would receive 5 starter kits codes for your patients while supplies last.

Here's how to get the redemption codes and send them to your patients.

Step 1: Please enroll here in the Programs section by selecting the program and clicking the ENROLL button: https://seriousmd.com/doctor/app/programs

Step 2: If you have not attended an Obesity Educational Live Event: You may sign up and then watch an event on demand at this link in order to qualify for eligibilty.

  • Sign up for a NovoHub account and login to view the Novo Nordisk obesity educational session via this link

  • Once your account is verified on NovoHub, click this link to view the content

Step 3: Once approved, you will be notified by the system. You will also be able to see your available codes.

Step 4: Create a prescription and search for Saxenda.
You should now see the available redemption codes.

It's the same way as you normally prescribe inside SeriousMD but you now have an option to attach a redemption code to give to your patient when you send the e-prescription.

Once you click the redemption code at the bottom, it will attach itself to the prescription like so:

The patient just needs to tap the button to follow the instructions to fill up the form and finalize the delivery.

When you send the e-prescription, the patient will see it in their NowServing and will also receive a message like this to be able to redeem it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Enrollment Questions

Answer for Support Team

If I am a SeriousMD HCP: will I automatically be part of the Novo Nordisk Obesity Weigh Now PSP?

If you are practicing in Manila and you have attended Novo Nordisk obesity educational event this year: (such as the June 01 live or virtual event), you are entitled to begin enrolling patients into the Weigh Now PSP. If you have not done either of these you may become eligible by attending an on demand session at https://pro.novonordisk.ph/obesity/obesity-weigh-now-patient-support-program.html
Please wait for the Novo Nordisk team to validate your attendance, so that you may start enrolling patients.

How many patients can I enroll in the PSP?

All eligible doctors may allocate 5 PSP starter kits to 5 unique patients. Doctors with verified World Obesity Federation' SCOPE Certification may be allocated 4 additional kits to a patient: coming up to 9 starter kits for 9 unique codes.

Once I have exhausted all my starter kit codes can I still enroll new patients?

As this is a 3 month pilot, we will be limiting PSP stocks for now. You may gain your SCOPE certification within the pilot period of June to September to receive the maximum amount of additional codes for as long as our limited stocks last. Novo Nordisk will reach out to you for the next cycle of the PSP after the pilot period.
