If you have an overweight or obese pediatric patient and the patient is counseled regarding lifestyle changes by the physician, is there a limit regarding the number of times an insurer will pay for these services per year? In other words, will an insurer pay for lifestyle counseling every 3 months, every 6 months, only once a year? Does this depend on the type of insurer, PPO, HMO, or Medicaid?
