Obese “Athlete”

Where to start for losing weight in Pennsylvania?

If you are overweight or obese, one of the best places to start with is to find a trained, and qualified weight loss doctor as most primary care physicians are not well versed in the topic of obesity other than to blame you the vicitim, or to tell you to eat less, and exercise more which you probably already know.

Medical weight loss options in Pennsylvania

Did you know that all insurances, including Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurances, are mandated to provide health insurance coverage for obesity screening and in most cases, treatment after the passage of Affordable Care Act?

Medicare Obesity Coverage

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers obesity screenings and behavioral counseling if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more.

Who can provide the obesity counseling?

Medicare covers this counseling if your primary care doctor or other qualified provider gives the counseling in a primary care setting (like a doctor's office), where they can coordinate your personalized prevention plan with your other care.
