Are you over the age of 65 and have alot of weight to lose? If so, the Centers for Medicare and MedicaidServices (CMS) finally has a program in place that may be of help. The program is for overweight people that fit this - defined as abody mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2. You must be able tolose at least 1.1 pounds per month in the first six months to qualifyfor the second six months. The total weight that must be lost in thefirst six months is 3 kg or 6 pounds, 9,82 ounces. Read this information and then talk to your primary care provider about who youwill need to see if it is not this provider.
If you have to compute your body massindex (BMI) you may use this BMI Calculator. Then you may use this ideal weight calculator to determine what your ideal weight rangeshould be. Then if you want to see what the lower limits(disregarding body frame size) should be, check out this calculator.
To qualify, it is appropriate forindividuals entitled to benefits under Part A or enrolled under PartB and is recommended with a grade of A or B by the U.S. PreventiveServices Task Force (USPSTF). This is the first time CMS hasattempted to get this right by having providers work with you for upto one year. This applies to the frequency of consultations and thelength of time.
