FAQs
How is medical weight loss different from regular dieting?
Medical weight loss is physician-supervised and addresses the entire spectrum of factors affecting weight, including medical conditions, medications, and metabolic issues. Unlike fad diets, our approach is scientifically sound and tailored to your specific needs and health status.
Am I a good candidate for weight loss medications?
Ideal candidates for medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide typically have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes. Our medical team will evaluate your health status to determine if these treatments are appropriate for you.
Will my insurance cover weight loss treatment?
Many insurance plans now cover obesity screening and counseling. Coverage for medications varies by plan. Our team will help verify your benefits and explore options for maximizing your coverage.
