Employer costs of obesity include more than healthcare
• Workplace accommodations for overweight/obese individuals• Hiring concerns related to physical work capabilities• Turnover issues for individuals in physically demanding jobs

Recognition will likely help support:• reimbursement for anti-obesity treatment• implementation of weight loss strategies• efforts to reduce risk of CV disease, diabetes and other obesity-associated comorbidities

There is no single or simple solution to the obesity epidemic. It’s a complex problem and there has to be a multifaceted approach. Policy makers, state and local organizations, business and community leaders, school, childcare and healthcare professionals, and individuals must work together to create an environment that supports a healthy lifestyle.

DefinitionsObesity: Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or
higher.
Body Mass Index (BMI): A measure of an adult’s weight in relation to his or her height, calculated by using the adult’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his or her height in meters.

Consider pharmacotherapy only if a patient has not lost 1 pound per week after 6 months of combined lifestyle therapy.

-
Listen to patient cues about hunger, satiety, and side effects to drive weight management.
Continue to encourage healthy lifestyle behaviors as weight loss medications should serve an adjunct to these.
If a patient has a superior response to medication (5-10% of total body weight loss), continue medications indefinitely.
Advise women of childbearing age about discontinuing medication prior to conception.
-
Just because we have an ICD-10 code, obesity treatment hasn’t been made easier. Decrease in obesity can prevent or enhance treatment of other serious
cardiovascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal conditions. Management of obesity is a multi-factorial, chronic, individualized treatment. Surgery is not the answer for all patients, but can be beneficial in some patients. Insurance coverage for nutrition consultation, medications, weight programs and
surgery is needed. Always think Team Approach for obesity therapy.

Challenges• Workplace environments can pose challenges.• Weight is a private and sensitive matter, which
can make outreach difficult. • Lack of obesity awareness and education can
hinder engagement levels. • Weight loss is challenging to accomplish which
requires long-term coaching and engagement. • Few physicians formally diagnose obesity through
CPT codes. • Chronic health conditions receive a greater
emphasis than obesity prevention.

Consider Covering Bariatric Surgery
@DrBobMorrow Klein, obesity | VOLUME 19 NUMBER 3 | March 2011
Total diabetes medication costs decreased significantly
among surgery patients.
Bariatric surgery with low-level lifestyle intervention resulted in more disease
remission than did lifestyle intervention alone.

Challenges with ICD coding of obesity & pre-diabetes population• No automated option for patients identified with condition
• ICD code entry would need to be manually entered• Pre-diabetes & overweight/obesity are dynamic conditions
• Will probably change over time making the prior ICD code incorrect• Establishing registries for the condition based on A1C scores (pre-
diabetes) and BMI category makes sense• Registries can be periodically updated to add/remove patients
-
• Laboratory-based A1C within past 2 years (5.7-6.4%)• Exclude use of FPG or OGTT
• Exclude anyone in the diabetes registry• No antidiabetic medications with exception of metformin
