FAQ´s
How do I know if I need medical weight loss?
How do I know if I need weight loss medications?
At Elle MD in Commerce, Michigan, we offer personalized weight loss programs tailored to your specific needs, from medication-free solutions to FDA-approved and compounded medications. For the best results, we recommend combining these medications with lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. Since there are many factors to consider when starting weight loss medication, it's important to discuss your options with your doctor.
How do I know if I qualify for weight loss medication?
Weight loss medications are FDA-approved for patients with obesity, defined as a BMI > 30kg/m2, or for patients with overweight (BMI 27-29 kg/m2) AND the presence of another weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, PCOS, Obstructive Sleep Apnea or high cholesterol.
Which weight loss medications do you prescribe?
At Elle MD, we prescribe Tirzepatide (Zepbound), Semaglutide (Wegovy), Phentermine, Qsymia (phentermine/topirmatate), Contrave (bupropion/naltrexone). Your weight loss medication will be carefully selected based on your unique medical history, needs, and preferences. We will also consider your insurance coverage to ensure the best possible treatment plan.
Do you accept insurance?
To offer truly personalized care, our functional medicine and weight management practice doesn’t work with insurance providers. This allows us to focus entirely on your long-term well-being, without the constraints that insurance coverage can bring.
What happens if my insurance doesn't cover weight loss medications?
Most insurance plans don’t cover weight loss medications, but if yours doesn’t, we’ll help you look into options like paying out-of-pocket, using savings cards or coupons, or considering compounded medications. We’ve structured our weight loss programs to reflect these financial considerations
How long will I need the medication?
Depending on your health goals and weight loss progress, you might need to take medication over the long term. At Elle MD, we’ll design a personalized plan to help you gradually reduce or stop medication while maintaining your weight loss. Our approach blends proven strategies, such as lifestyle changes and ongoing support, to ensure lasting success.
