Using chiropractor for medically supervised weight loss?

Has anyone used a chiropractor for medically supervised weight loss?

I like mine better than my Pcp and already go once a month. They offer nutritional counseling, but they don't typically do a weigh in. I'm sure they could though.

Anyone used this to meet the insurance requirements? (BCBS Federal). The book doesn't specify, it just says medically supervised.

I would recommend you call your plan and ask them. It's most common to go through nutrition counseling by a credentialed professional, so if you don't like your PCP, maybe see if you can follow with a NUT that you like. If your plan allows medically supervised weight loss from a chiropractor, make sure they tell you that directly. I wouldn't recommend settling with "it shouldn't be a problem" type of answers.

I've never heard of doing this & would be very surprised if an insurance company approved it. Good luck!

I know someone who did a weight loss plan through her chiro but not weigh in for WLS.
I second the suggestion of getting it in writing.
I saw a PA for my check-ins.

Call the insurance. I just got turned down because my 5 month supervised weight loss was just barely outside the 2 year window. FYI though they said it was a 6 month program but you didn't necessarily have to go every single month for mg plan. Also it had to be a doctor and not a NP. Just heads up.
