Weight Loss & Medical Weight Management
Weight Loss & Medical Weight Management
Care that supports your goals.
Weight loss can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. At MedLink Georgia, we provide personalized weight loss and medical weight management care that may include prescription medications, GLP-1 medication options, nutrition counseling, and ongoing support. Together, these options can help you work toward your health goals with a plan that fits your needs.
What is Medical Weight Management?
Medical weight management is a healthcare approach to helping you achieve and maintain a healthier weight. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, our team looks at your overall health, medical history, goals, lifestyle, and individual needs. By considering the whole picture, we can help develop a personalized plan that supports your long-term health and weight loss goals.
At MedLink Georgia, weight loss care may include several types of support. Depending on your individual needs, your care may include medical evaluation, prescription weight loss medications when appropriate, GLP-1 medication options, nutrition counseling, personalized weight loss goals, and progress tracking. Together, these services can provide support throughout your weight loss journey.
We provide weight loss and medical weight management services to patients throughout Northeast Georgia.
What Does Weight Loss Care Include?
Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program
Eligible Medicare patients may qualify for the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program, which provides access to certain GLP-1 medications used for weight loss at a reduced cost. If you qualify, covered medications may be available for $50 per month through the Bridge Program.
Additionally, the program currently includes certain medications, such as:
Medication is only one part of your weight loss journey.
While medication may be an important part of weight loss care for some patients, it is not the only option. Instead, your care may also include nutrition support, personalized goals, progress tracking, and ongoing guidance from your care team. As your needs change, your provider can help adjust your plan to support your continued progress.
Medical Care
First, work with a MedLink provider to determine whether weight loss medication may be appropriate for you. Your provider can consider your individual health needs and goals when developing your care plan.
In addition to medical care, nutrition support can help you build healthy eating habits that fit your life. Our nutrition team can provide guidance based on your individual needs and goals.
When medication is part of your care plan, our pharmacy team can help you understand your medication options, coverage, and available savings opportunities.
Ongoing Support
Finally, ongoing support helps you stay connected to your care team as you work toward your goals. Your provider can monitor your progress and adjust your plan when needed.
Our goal is to help you build a sustainable approach to weight management, not simply provide a medication.
