Obesity Counseling Available for People on Medicare

Are you over the age of 65 and have a
lot of weight to lose? If so, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) finally has a program in place that may be of help.
The program is for overweight people that fit this - defined as a
body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2. You must be able to
lose at least 1.1 pounds per month in the first six months to qualify
for the second six months.
