        "text": "Medical weight loss programs typically cost $200–$500/month depending on services included. Programs with GLP-1 medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide) add $200–$1,300/month for the medication. Initial consultations and metabolic testing add $150–$400 upfront. Many practices offer membership packages."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) have strong clinical safety data. Common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, constipation, or reduced appetite. Rare serious side effects include pancreatitis risk. Medical supervision is essential for proper dosing and monitoring. Most patients tolerate them well after the titration period."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Clinical results vary by program. Lifestyle-focused programs yield 5–10% body weight loss over 6 months. GLP-1 medication programs average 15–22% body weight loss over 12–18 months. Surgical options achieve 25–35%. Medical supervision improves outcomes and reduces regain through monitoring and accountability."

      "name": "Does insurance cover medical weight loss programs?",
      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Coverage varies significantly. Many insurance plans now cover FDA-approved obesity medications (Wegovy, Zepbound) if BMI criteria are met. Behavioral counseling components are often covered as preventive care. Weight loss surgery has better coverage than medical programs. Verify benefits before starting — prior authorization is commonly required."
