Good morning. I have a questions. My providers prescribe the GLP-1 drugs for obesity. My question is when a patient has lost the weight and is no longer considered obese or overweight, what diagnosis do you use for follow up office visits. They are still on the medication as maintenance.
 
I think it would depend on what they document. You could possibly use something like Z79.85
