title: Answers to Clinical Questions in the Primary Care Management of People with Obesity: Practice Redesign and Reimbursement.
abstract: Determining what treatment options the patient's insurance will cover and considering the patient's out-of-pocket costs are important actions to be taken while collaborating with the patient and other team members and during the development and implementation of the treatment plan. Reimbursement is available to PCPs for some obesity-related services.
