The Medical Assistant is responsible for performing InBody body composition assessments and ensuring results are immediately delivered to the Medical Provider for review. They must accurately document findings in the EHR using specific care plan snippets and schedule follow-up assessments.
An InBody scan is a quick, non-invasive, and highly accurate (comparable to DEXA) body composition analysis that measures weight, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and visceral fat in under a minute. It uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to deliver detailed, actionable insights into body composition across different body segments.
InBody Assessment Review & Documentation for the Medical Assistant.
To ensure systematic communication, immediate clinical review, and precise documentation of InBody assessment results to address chronic pain, deconditioning, and fall risk.
1. Post-Assessment Immediate Action
Immediately after the InBody assessment is completed, the InBody MA must take the physical results directly to the Medical Provider for review with the patient during the current visit. The Medical Provider will refer to the Registered Dietitian or the Physical Reconditioning Provider (Chiropractic Doctor) for treatment plan.
2. Handling Out-of-Sync Visits

10. Medical Necessity for InBody Assessment– Care Plan Snippet: Patient has chronic pain with documented chronic opioid therapy, neuropathy, and/or obesity which effects strength and balance that puts the patient at a greater risk for falls. A whole-body InBody assessment was performed and reviewed with the patient to evaluate body composition, muscle mass distribution, and functional contributors to deconditioning. Findings were integrated with strength and fall-risk testing to guide the care plan.
The outlined care plan is medically necessary to: Reduce fall risk and prevent injury
Improve functional capacity and safety
Optimize pain management while minimizing medication-related adverse effects
Based on these findings, the patient was recommended to schedule follow-up with our Registered Dietitian and/or the Physical Reconditioning department to address deconditioning, improve strength and endurance, and reduce fall risk within a transdisciplinary pain management model. The patient will be scheduled for a repeat InBody assessment in 3 months to assess improvement.
5. Scheduling & Tracking
