The short answer
Can you apply for GLP-1 care without a BMI cutoff?
Yes. Belle accepts applications for GLP-1 care without a minimum BMI requirement. A licensed clinician decides whether to prescribe.
Your height and weight are part of the clinical picture. A licensed provider considers them alongside your health history, medications, prior treatment, and goals.
There is no automatic yes, either. Your clinician may determine that a GLP-1 is not appropriate for you.

BMI of 25 or 26?
A BMI of 25 or 26 does not prevent you from applying. A licensed clinician determines whether treatment is appropriate.
A thoughtful review
What does
Belle require?
No minimum BMI does not mean no medical requirements. Here is what goes into the review.
The decision belongs
to a licensed clinician.
You are 18 or older
Belle provides care for adults.
You complete a medical intake
Share your health history, current medications, and prior GLP-1 use so a clinician can understand your situation.
A licensed provider reviews your history
Your provider determines whether treatment is appropriate and, if so, which treatment and dose.
Care in all 50 states
Wherever you live in the United States, you can apply for care with Belle. A licensed clinician reviews your health history and determines whether treatment is right for you.
Medical requirements still apply
Who may not qualify
for GLP-1 treatment?
Treatment is not appropriate for everyone, at any BMI.
Belle does not treat anyone under 18. A clinician also considers your medical history, current medications, and other factors that may make treatment inappropriate.
Your provider may decide against prescribing a GLP-1, or recommend that another health concern be addressed first. Completing an intake does not guarantee treatment.
A little more clarity
Common questions
about BMI eligibility.
Does Belle require a minimum BMI?
No. Belle does not require a minimum BMI to apply for GLP-1 care. Height and weight remain part of the clinical review. A licensed clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate, and applying does not guarantee a prescription.
Is Belle available in all 50 states?
Yes. Belle offers GLP-1 care to adults 18 and older in all 50 US states. There is no minimum BMI to apply. A licensed clinician reviews each application and determines whether treatment is appropriate.
Why do I keep seeing BMI cutoffs of 27 or 30?
These numbers come from eligibility criteria used for certain prescription weight management medications: a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition.
Program requirements vary. Being able to apply at Belle does not change medication labeling or guarantee that a clinician will prescribe treatment.
Read the NIDDK overview (opens in a new tab)Can I apply if my BMI is 25 or 26?
Yes. A BMI of 25 or 26 does not, by itself, prevent you from applying at Belle. A licensed clinician reviews your history and decides whether treatment is appropriate. Approval is not guaranteed.
How do I find out whether treatment is right for me?
Start with the online medical intake. A licensed provider reviews the information you submit and may request more information before making a decision. Review timing depends on your application and any follow-up that is needed.

Does no minimum BMI mean guaranteed approval?
No. Being able to apply and being eligible for a prescription are different. A licensed provider must determine that treatment is appropriate for you, regardless of your BMI.
