What does STOMP mean in MANAGEMENT

STOMP stands for Solutions Treatments in Obesity Management Prevention. It is a comprehensive program designed to provide solutions and treatments to obese individuals and those at risk of obesity. The goal of the program is to improve long-term health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs associated with obesity.

Any individual interested in joining the STOMP program should contact their local healthcare provider. You will be asked to provide your medical history, family health history, lifestyle habits, and other factors that may contribute to your risk of developing or managing obesity. After reviewing your information, your healthcare provider will be able to help you enroll into the program best suited for you.

The cost associated with participating in a STOMP Program varies by provider or plan. Most programs are covered by insurance and require copays from patients according to their particular plan. Medicare and Medicaid often cover all or part of the cost depending on specific qualifying criteria determined by each state’s government agency responsible for setting guidelines on healthcare coverage.

The treatments available through the STOMP Program are tailored to each individual’s needs, but generally include some combination of diet modification, physical activity counseling, behavior modification techniques, medication management, laboratory tests and monitoring services, nutrition counseling and referrals for specialty care when necessary. Your healthcare provider will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets your needs specifically.

Many hospitals and clinics offer support groups as part of their obesity management programs where people can come together to share their experiences related to weight loss or management goals they are hoping to achieve while on the program. Other forms of peer support can also be found online which can provide a helpful source of encouragement throughout an individual’s weight loss journey. Your healthcare provider will likely have additional resources you can take advantage of as well if needed.
