Eligible
Am I eligible for treatment?
The BMI check provides an initial indication. A doctor will then assess your medical condition.
For weight management, this generally involves a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 or above in combination with a weight-related condition. In addition, treatment must be medically justified.
No. BMI is just one factor. The doctor will also take into account your health, current medication, medical history and any possible contraindications.
This varies depending on the medicine. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain medical conditions and other medication may, for example, be reasons not to start treatment. A medical assessment is therefore necessary.
Yes. The BMI check provides an initial indication. Only then does the medical assessment and evaluation take place.
