Insurance Coverage for GLP-1 Medications

One of the most common questions we hear: "Will my insurance cover GLP-1 medications?"

The answer depends on your carrier, plan type, and state.

Who Typically Gets Coverage

• PPO plans from major carriers (UnitedHealthcare, BCBS, Aetna) have the highest approval rates

• Patients with a BMI of 30+ or 27+ with comorbidities

• Plans that cover "anti-obesity medications" in their formulary
