What You Should Know:
– Mochi Health, a physician-guided obesity care program, announced the launch of its new insurance-based plans.
– These expanded offerings are designed to provide more personalized treatment experiences for patients, placing a strong emphasis on comprehensive obesity care that spans all aspects of an individual’s health.
– The new insurance-based plans are available as an optional upgrade to Mochi’s existing offerings. They provide patients with access to either brand-name or compounded weight loss medication prescriptions, alongside routine video consultations with both a physician and a registered dietitian.
Addressing a Growing National Health Concern
The launch comes at a time when nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults are classified as overweight or obese, and approximately one in eight Americans are reportedly using GLP-1 medications for weight loss, underscoring the significant demand for effective solutions. Mochi Health’s expanded offerings aim to meet this need by blending personalized care with comprehensive support, recognizing that effective treatment must be tailored to the individual.
Expanding Access to Comprehensive, Personalized Weight Loss Solutions
Mochi Health’s new plans aim to cater to the unique needs of each individual navigating their weight loss journey. This approach acknowledges the multifaceted nature of obesity and the necessity for tailored interventions.
“Weight loss is a complex and personal process that requires individualized approaches,” said Dr. Myra Ahmad, CEO of Mochi Health. “Successful treatment offers a blend of clinical research and medical expertise with the individual’s unique budgets, needs, challenges, and goals.”
What’s Included: A Holistic Approach to Obesity Care
The expanded offerings under the insurance-based plans are comprehensive. Beyond medication and consultations with physicians and dietitians, patients can access a suite of services including:
- Labs and genetic testing
- Assessments for sleep apnea
- Advanced medical nutrition therapy
- Customized diet planning
- Comprehensive health risk evaluations
- In-depth health risk assessments and ongoing monitoring
A significant addition to these enhanced offerings is the inclusion of behavioral therapy as a treatment option. This addresses a vital, yet often deprioritized, component of effective weight loss treatment. Patients will now have the ability to check in with a behavioral therapist throughout their weight-loss journey, ensuring their mental and emotional health are integral parts of their care plan.
