What is a Good Faith Exam (GFE) for Weight Loss Treatments?
A Good Faith Exam (GFE) is an initial medical evaluation required before providing weight loss treatments, such as Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. This exam involves reviewing the patient's medical history, conducting a physical assessment, performing lab tests if necessary, and having a personalized consultation to determine eligibility. The purpose is to ensure patient safety, tailor the treatment to individual needs, and comply with legal requirements before starting the program.
