GLP-1 eligibility tool

See whether provider-led GLP-1 care may be worth exploring

This quick screening tool is designed to help you understand whether a conversation about medical weight loss and GLP-1 treatment may be worth having with a licensed provider.

Your information

Step 1 of 3

What is your age range?

Do any of these apply to you?

Have you already tried lifestyle-based weight loss efforts?

Are you specifically interested in GLP-1 treatment?

Are you currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant?

Your goals

Estimated BMI

27.4

Possible fit

You may be a possible candidate for further evaluation

Your profile may support a conversation with a licensed provider, but the next step depends on the full clinical picture rather than BMI alone.

Your estimated BMI is 27.4.
A provider may look at weight trends, overall health, and treatment goals in addition to BMI.
Prior lifestyle efforts can help inform next-step recommendations.

Important: This tool is for informational screening only and does not determine medical eligibility or guarantee treatment. Final decisions are made by a licensed provider.

Why this matters

Eligibility is more nuanced than a single number

BMI is often a starting point, but it is not the only factor that matters. A licensed provider may consider weight-related health conditions, prior treatment attempts, medication tolerability, pregnancy considerations, and longer-term goals.

That is why a provider-led medical weight loss program can be more useful than a generic online quiz. Some patients may be better candidates for GLP-1 treatment, while others may need a different approach. If you want to see how titration typically works in real-world care, you can also review our GLP-1 dosage calculator.

Patients across Maine — including Windham and nearby communities — can access care through a telehealth-first model designed for convenience and continuity.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about GLP-1 eligibility

Does this tool tell me if I definitely qualify?

No. This tool is educational only. It shows whether you may fit common starting criteria, but final eligibility depends on a medical evaluation, clinical history, medication risks, and provider judgment.

What factors often matter when evaluating GLP-1 eligibility?

Common considerations include BMI, weight-related health conditions, previous attempts at weight loss, current medications, side effect risk, pregnancy considerations, and broader medical history.

Can someone qualify even if their BMI is below 30?

Sometimes. Depending on the medication and clinical context, some patients with a lower BMI plus weight-related health conditions may still be considered. A provider should make that determination.
