❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Medical Weight Loss?
A: Medical weight loss is a structured, physician-guided program that goes beyond traditional diets. We consider your metabolic health, medical history, and lifestyle to design a personalized strategy using tools such as GLP‑1 medications (like semaglutide and tirzepatide), nutrition counseling, and behavior coaching to help you achieve sustainable weight loss.

A: Candidates generally include adults with:
-
A BMI of 30 or higher, or
-
A BMI of 27+ with weight-related health conditions like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.

Q: Are GLP‑1 Medications Safe and Effective?
A: When prescribed and monitored by a qualified provider, GLP‑1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide are both safe and effective. These medications mimic the appetite-regulating hormone GLP‑1, helping reduce hunger and stabilize blood sugar. Radiance
Q: How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose?
A: Weight loss varies by individual, but safe and sustainable progress often equates to 1–2 pounds per week. GLP‑1 medication support may result in 10–15% body weight reduction over 12 months for eligible patients under physician supervision.

A:
-
Initial Virtual Consultation to review health history and goals.
-
Medical Evaluation, including labs as needed.
-
Customized Treatment Plan, incorporating GLP‑1 therapy, nutrition, and behavior coaching.
-
Ongoing Virtual Follow-up visits, plan adjustments, and accountability as needed.
Q: What About Insurance and Billing?
A: Accelerated Weight Solutions is an out-of-network provider, which means we do not bill insurance directly. However, we provide detailed superbills after each visit that many patients submit to their insurance for reimbursement.
In fact, we’ve typically seen patients receive up to 80% reimbursement when submitting these superbills to their out-of-network benefits. Eligibility and reimbursement rates vary by plan, so we encourage patients to check with their insurance provider or use HSA/FSA funds if available.
Q: What If I Only Want a Quick Second Opinion?
A: Choose our Flexible (Per‑Visit) Plan, which allows one-time telehealth appointments for prescription reviews, second opinions, or a personalized check-in without committing to a subscription.
