No. Medical weight loss and health coaching are generally not covered by most insurance plans. When doctors accept insurance for weight loss, they often cannot provide the comprehensive care needed due to time constraints. Patients typically receive a prescription with minimal information, which can lead to ineffective treatment and severe side effects.

Insurance-based programs usually require patients to see multiple specialists for different aspects of their care, such as a dietitian for nutrition advice and a therapist for stress management. This can be both time-consuming and costly.

BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a measure used to estimate a person’s body fat levels based on their weight and height. It’s calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters.

The resulting number is used to classify individuals into categories:

Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
Normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9
Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9
Obesity: BMI 30 or higher

In order to qualify for treatment with prescription weight loss medications, patients must have a BMI of 30 or above, which is classified as obesity. It may also be considered for those with a BMI of 27 or above if they have at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Patients who have a BMI between 27-30 will be required to complete labs before their appointment.
