How Prado works for clinicians, from building plans to verification and getting meals to patients.
Prado lets clinicians prescribe medically tailored meals. You build a nutrition plan in minutes, and meals matched to that plan are prepared by trusted local food merchants and delivered to the patient's door every week.
Licensed clinicians who provide nutrition care, including registered dietitians, physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Clinician groups, telehealth platforms, and health systems can roll Prado out across their teams.
Prado is free for individual clinicians. Organizations get a program scoped to their population; talk to our team for details.
We are opening clinician accounts soon. Join the waitlist and we will reach out as soon as your account is ready.
Prado calculates calorie and macronutrient targets from published standards, using equations such as Mifflin-St Jeor or Katch-McArdle when body composition is available. Condition-specific rules for diabetes, hypertension, lipids, renal function, and GLP-1 therapy layer on top. You review, adjust, and sign every plan.
Most plans take under five minutes, so they fit inside the visit.
Yes. Patients can swap meals for options that still fit their plan and allergen list.
Prado works alongside your EHR. You keep charting where you chart today, and Prado handles the plan and the meals.
We verify every clinician against the national NPI registry before plans can be sent to patients. If you do not have an NPI, you can upload your credentials for review instead. You can skip this at sign-up and finish it later from your profile.
Payment processors are required to verify the business that receives payouts from patient orders. These details go only to the processor, encrypted. You can skip this at sign-up, but you cannot send a meal plan until it is complete.
Patients review their week and check out through Prado. Payment with pre-tax HSA and FSA dollars is coming next.
You send the signed plan, the patient gets an invitation, reviews their matched week, and checks out. Meals arrive at their door weekly.
Availability depends on where our food merchants deliver. Tell us your state when you join the waitlist and we will confirm coverage.
Yes. Prado is built for HIPAA, and patient health information is protected as described on our Security page.
