Item 19
What Pritikin ICR's FDD reports in Item 19
Median number of Completed ICR Sessions
48.4 sessions
This is a count of sessions, not money. Pritikin ICR's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the Calendar year 2024. Basis: 104 licensees that, as of the end of the year, had been operated using the Pritikin ICR Program for a full twelve-month period; Medicare patients enrolled in Pritikin ICR with a 72-session prescription.
Sample size: 104 licensees. The FDD also reports average number: 46.8 of 46.8 sessions. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest licensees; the median is the middle licensee.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- The figures exclude licensees that had not operated using the Pritikin ICR Program for a full twelve-month period as of the end of calendar year 2024.
- The figures concern Medicare patients enrolled in Pritikin ICR with a 72-session prescription and therefore do not include patients without that prescription.
This is a disclosure of what some existing licensees reported, not a projection of what a new Pritikin ICR licensee would earn. Your results will differ.
