PRESCRIPTION WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATIONS

Let's discuss the right medication for you

BMI REQUIREMENTS

Prescription weight-loss medications may be covered by your insurance if your BMI is over 30, or over 27 with conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. If you are paying out of pocket, BMI insurance requirements do not apply. However, we will still complete a full health assessment to determine which weight-loss medication is safest and most appropriate for you. Weight loss varies from person to person and occurs through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. If appropriate, you may be prescribed one of the medications listed below. Since every insurance plan is different, let’s review your options together to determine what’s best for you.

WEGOVY OR ZEPBOUND

You’ve likely heard about the FDA-approved weight-loss medications making a real difference. Wegovy and Zepbound are weekly subcutaneous injections designed to support your weight-loss goals. These medications slow stomach emptying and increase feelings of fullness, helping you naturally reduce your food intake.

Your insurance may cover these medications depending on your plan. TEXT 808-382-4306 today to schedule your appointment.

PHENTERMINE AND/OR TOPIRAMATE

These medications help suppress your appetite, making it easier to eat less and lose weight. They are also a low-cost option for medical weight loss.
