Who may qualify
Is ExpressWell right for me?
ExpressWell currently treats adults. Medication eligibility is generally based on a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea or heart disease.
A visit is a medical evaluation, not a guaranteed prescription. Final eligibility depends on your full evaluation and your clinician's judgment, and individual results vary.
