Generally, medical weight loss clinics are covered by most major insurance plans. However, it is important to note that what medical weight loss treatments are covered will vary from one insurance plan to another. It is important to do your research to make certain that any potential weight loss treatments or plans that you undertake are covered by your insurance so as to not pay out of pocket for expenses. If you have any questions about what treatments are covered by your insurance, call or visit their website or review your paperwork to make sure that they are covered. Three of the most covered weight loss services that are usually covered by insurance are: weight loss screening and counseling; bariatric surgery; and weight loss medication. Before you begin any regime, speak with your medical practitioner to make sure that it is the right treatment plan for you. Starting with a primary care provider like Dr Shima is a good start.
