Use these tools to better understand your starting point, explore treatment pathways, and prepare for a provider-led medical weight loss plan.

GLP-1 eligibility tool

See whether provider-led GLP-1 care may be worth exploring

This quick screening tool is designed to help you understand whether a conversation about medical weight loss and GLP-1 treatment may be worth having with a licensed provider. You can also compare your starting point with our BMI calculator or review our GLP-1 dosage calculator for broader context.

Estimated BMI

Provider review recommended

You may not meet typical starting criteria right now

Based on your current inputs, you may not fit common starting thresholds that often trigger GLP-1 evaluation, though provider judgment and full medical context still matter.

Your estimated BMI is 0.
Eligibility decisions depend on more than a single number, but many medical weight loss pathways begin with BMI and overall risk profile.
A provider can still help you understand your options, including non-GLP-1 treatment approaches and long-term support.

Important: This tool is for informational screening only and does not determine medical eligibility or guarantee treatment. Final decisions are made by a licensed provider.

Why this matters

Eligibility is more nuanced than a single number

BMI is often a starting point, but it is not the only factor that matters. A licensed provider may consider weight-related health conditions, prior treatment attempts, medication tolerability, pregnancy considerations, and longer-term goals.

That is why a provider-led medical weight loss program can be more useful than a generic online quiz. Some patients may be better candidates for GLP-1 treatment, while others may need a different approach. If you want to see how titration typically works in real-world care, you can also review our GLP-1 dosage calculator.

Patients across Maine — including Windham, Portland, and nearby communities — can access care through a telehealth-first model designed for convenience and continuity.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about GLP-1 eligibility

Does this tool tell me if I definitely qualify?

No. This tool is educational only. It shows whether you may fit common starting criteria, but final eligibility depends on a medical evaluation, clinical history, medication risks, and provider judgment.

What factors often matter when evaluating GLP-1 eligibility?

Common considerations include BMI, weight-related health conditions, previous attempts at weight loss, current medications, side effect risk, pregnancy considerations, and broader medical history.

Can someone qualify even if their BMI is below 30?

Sometimes. Depending on the medication and clinical context, some patients with a lower BMI plus weight-related health conditions may still be considered. A provider should make that determination.
