Optimization

Weight Optimization

Medical weight management, with the follow-through it requires.

Medication has changed what is achievable in weight management, but it has not removed the need for assessment, monitoring, nutrition and muscle preservation. This program provides the whole picture rather than a prescription alone.

What it involves

  • Metabolic and nutritional assessment
  • Discussion of options, including medication where clinically appropriate
  • Attention to protein intake and preserving muscle
  • Regular monitoring and adjustment
  • Planning for what happens longer term

Coverage

Insured and uninsured components

This program combines insured and uninsured components. Insured physician services and any medically necessary investigations are billed to MSP as usual. The uninsured components — assessment depth beyond what MSP covers, planning, coordination and ongoing monitoring — are covered by your membership.

This program does not guarantee access to or replace a General Practitioner, Family Physician, or any Medical Service Plan (MSP) insured primary care services. It also does not provide expedited access to MSP-covered laboratory tests, diagnostic investigations, or specialist referrals.

How to access this program

Weight Optimization is delivered within a Monarch Health membership rather than purchased on its own. These memberships include it:

Whether this program is clinically appropriate for you is a decision made with your physician after assessment. Membership does not imply that every program will form part of your plan.
