This session provides a practical framework for managing obesity in geriatric patients, emphasizing functional status, sarcopenia risk, and Medicare-specific considerations. We will review the latest body-composition standards, including DXA, BIA, and strength assessments, and demonstrate how to apply these tools through a real-world geriatric case. Participants will learn evidence-based strategies to preserve lean mass and mobility, including practical resources now increasingly supported through new Medicare initiatives. The session also outlines documentation and billing approaches for using body-composition data in Medicare encounters. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to improve clinical care, reimbursement success, and patient outcomes.
