Is Weight Loss Treatment Covered By My Insurance?
YES. Obesity is a chronic medical condition that is typically covered by most insurance, including Medicare.
How Do I Know If My Weight Is A Problem?
If your BMI is >25 then you are considered medically overweight putting you at higher risk for many medical problems and you should seek treatment to lose weight. If your waist circumference is greater than 35 inches (in females) or 40 inches (in a male) then you have abdominal obesity and should seek treatment.
How Are You Different Than A Nutritionist Or Dietician?
Obesity medicine specialists look at all the reasons people are overweight, ensuring you have comprehensive care that goes to the root of the problem. We do a thorough medical examination before you start your medical journey and routinely during your weight loss journey optimizing you for success. For example, one of your medications may be hindering your weight loss progress or perhaps you have an undiagnosed binge eating disorder. In addition, we focus not just on what you are eating but WHY you are making those choices. We address all the medical and psychological reasons for why people overeat.
Do I Need To Lose Weight If I Don’t Have Medical Problems Like Hypertension, Cholesterol Problems, Or Diabetes?
