What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss is a plan designed and supervised by healthcare professionals, emphasizing diet, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle. It also may include weight loss prescription medications.

Evaluation

Patients will have an initial assessment by the physician assistant including history and physical exam, laboratory work-up, and a body composition evaluation. The body composition evaluation breaks down the body into percentage of fat, protein, minerals, bone, body water and muscle.

Support

Patients will be provided with nutrition support and education. Registered dietitians will be available as needed to monitor progress, adjust the weight loss plan and celebrate incremental successes along the way.

Treatment Plan

Patients will receive an individualized diet plan, fitness goals, and prescription weight loss medications when medically necessary. Diet plans and medications will be adjusted as needed and appropriate.

How do I know if I qualify for medical weight loss?

This program is open to patients 18 years and older with a Body mass index of 30. Or, body mass index of 27 with an obesity related health concern, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Billing

We will bill insurance for medical weight loss services.

Body Mass Index, or BMI, is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. Many of our services are determined based on your individual BMI.
