BMI and Weight Management
Body Mass Index, or BMI, is one screening tool often used in weight management. It is not a complete picture of health, but it can help organize initial eligibility and risk discussions.
What BMI Can and Cannot Tell You
BMI can help estimate weight category, but it does not measure muscle mass, body composition, medication history, metabolic markers, or overall health status.
Why It Is Used
Providers may consider BMI along with other information such as health conditions, medications, lab values, weight history, and personal goals.
Next Step
Complete the MDHINRx assessment so your information can be reviewed as part of a broader clinical picture.
