What is Form Health?
Form Health is a virtual weight-management program that provides expert, science-based care to treat patients with obesity or who are overweight. Each patient works one-on-one with a dedicated clinical Care Team to develop a personalized weight-loss plan that addresses behavior change, nutrition, physical activity, and—when medically necessary—an FDA-approved prescription for medication.
All care is virtual, including regular video visits and messaging with your Care Team, along with tracking tools and educational resources in the Form Health mobile app. All Form Health patients receive a connected scale (at no cost to them) to track their progress.
Form Health also requires that you must have a primary care physician and must have visited them within the last 12 months.
Contact the Form Health clinical Care Team for more information: schedule@formhealth.co or 617-648-8137.
I am not a type 2 diabetic. Will weight-management treatment that I receive from physicians unaffiliated with Form Health be covered?
If your weight-management prescriptions have a prior authorization that began before January 1, 2025, we encourage you to enroll with Form Health, but you are not required to do so. Your prescription will continue to be subject to prior authorization.
If you and your doctor are discussing weight-management prescriptions for you, you must use Form Health in order for weight-management treatment and/or medications to be covered. Everyone’s body is different, and commonly prescribed treatment options aren’t successful for everyone. It’s important that you have the support of a physician who specializes in weight management and a registered dietitian to guide you.
I am a type 2 diabetic. Will I be required to use Form Health to obtain my GLP-1 prescription to manage my diabetes?
No, your prescription can be filled as usual. However, you’re welcome to use Form Health services to assist you with weight management if you’d like.
