Q: When it comes to managing your weight, do you have completeor quite a bit of control?
Responses:2
• Respondents without obesity: 68% – complete/quite a bit• Respondents with obesity: 41% – complete/quite a bit

• Primary care physicians, nurses and other healthcare
professionals have been found to hold negative opinions about people with obesity1
• Even obesity specialists have been found to have very strong bias against patients with obesity:2
– They infer that patients with obesity are blameworthy and lazy
– They question the intelligence and personal worth of patients with obesity

without shoes? About how much do you weight without shoes?1
bFrom a nationally representative survey of 1,509 adults
Answers to a recent phone survey question about their weightby Americans whose BMI qualifies them as having obesity:1,a,b
47% say:“I am overweight but not obese.”
43% say:“I consider myself
to be obese.”
9% say:“I consider my weight
to be about right.”
Majority of Americans who have obesity are in denial about their condition

• More than 33% of people with obesity have not spoken with a physician or other healthcare
professional about their weight1
• Several issues may prevent people with obesity from seeking help:
– Shame and embarrassment about their weight2
– Potential for hearing hurtful comments about
their weight2
– Fear of being blamed for their weight problems3
People with obesity may not seek medical care for their diseasea

2. Request coverage of AOMs (with prior authorization) during annual review process.
3. During review process, remove non-coverage status of AOMs.
4. Request active coverage of AOMs and determine their status and PA process (BMI ≥ 30 or BMI ≥ 27 with comorbidities).
Ensure AOM coverage to give providers the tools they need to manage obesity

“Lack of coverage for treatments for weight loss –
including medical visits for overweight treatment, behavioral health intervention, anti-obesity
medications and bariatric surgery – is the single biggest obstacle to dealing effectively with
overweight and obesity at the employer level.
Employers can play an important role by changing their messaging, increasing access to treatments via benefit design, and exerting their leverage with the delivery system to align with
evidence that obesity needs to be treated as a medical disorder.”
