Medicare Might Actually Help You Lose Weight — Here’s How to Make It Work

Preventive Services Are the Hidden Gem

Here’s where it gets interesting: Medicare Part B covers obesity screening and behavioral counseling if your BMI is 30 or above. That’s not just a check-up—it’s ongoing support to help you build healthy habits. These visits can be weekly or bi-weekly, and they’re 100% covered if your provider is in-network and it’s billed properly. That’s a ton of value that most people don’t even know exists.
