The myth: weight loss is about willpower, and if you have not succeeded with dieting, you are not trying hard enough. The science: obesity is a chronic metabolic condition driven by hormonal signaling, genetics, and environment. GLP-1 medications work because they address the biology, not the behavior.

Moses Medical prescribes semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) for patients who meet clinical criteria: BMI of 30 or above, or BMI of 27 or above with a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. Every patient starts with a metabolic panel, lipid profile, A1C, and thyroid function test through our on-site lab. Dosing escalates over 16 weeks with monthly provider check-ins and repeat bloodwork to track metabolic improvement, not just pounds lost.

The program also includes nutritional counseling and coordination with your primary care provider. For patients whose Medicaid plan does not cover GLP-1 medications for the obesity indication, our team handles prior authorizations and explores manufacturer assistance programs.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does your medical weight loss program include?
Our medical weight loss program is physician-supervised and includes a comprehensive metabolic evaluation, personalized nutrition planning, medication management when appropriate (including GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide), regular progress check-ins, behavioral counseling, and lab monitoring. Every plan is tailored to your health history and goals.
Do I qualify for weight loss medication?
Weight loss medication may be appropriate if you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Your provider will review your full medical history, current medications, and health goals to determine if medication is a safe and effective option for you.
Does insurance cover medical weight loss?
Many insurance plans cover medical weight loss visits and some cover weight loss medications. Coverage varies by plan. Our staff will verify your benefits before starting treatment so you know exactly what is covered. Medicaid plans in New York often cover obesity-related medical visits.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary by individual, but patients in structured medical weight loss programs typically lose 5 to 15 percent of their body weight over 6 to 12 months. With newer GLP-1 medications, some patients see even greater results. Your provider will set realistic goals with you and adjust your plan as you progress.
