What to Know
- Prior authorization is the key hurdle - you typically need to document a BMI ≥30 or ≥27 with a weight-related condition
- No service can guarantee coverage - that depends on your specific plan
- Many employer plans still exclude GLP-1s for weight loss entirely
Tip
Check your insurance's formulary first, then choose a telehealth service that specializes in prior authorization support rather than just prescribing.
