This tool is great, but needs to be filled out by the provider not the patient, which adds more to the prescribers plate, unfortunately. Is there a similar tool that patients can use to advocate on their own behalf? My doctor prescribed me Wegovy as I meet all of the criteria, and my Aetna commercial insurance is not covering a cent of it, so I need to explore what other options I have in terms of Rx savings cards or possibly alternative medications. I took Ozempic for 1 month without incident and as soon as the refill for the tinctured up dose was called in by my doctor, my insurance company denied coverage and required prior authorization paperwork saying that I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which I am not, although being prescribed semaglutide was intended to prevent the onset of diabetes, but we all know insurance companies aren’t concerned with disease prevention. I’m so distraught because the Ozempic was really helping me to drop weight for the first time in a long time, only to throw up a wall as soon as I started to see light at the end of the tunnel. It’s so depressing

That's exactly my experience! I was getting healthy with Ozempic - my BMI was finally below 30 and I was 6 lbs from my goal weight and insurance stopped covering it!

@colleenheath3028 I don't mind telling! I'm insured through blue cross blue shield. I've pretty much given up on wegovy. I'm just going to work as hard as I can to loose the weight. I'm ready to be off blood pressure medication!

My question is why does Oz not go up to you and 2.4 ? My insurance will cover Oz but not Wegovy! I am disappointed that I am going off of Manjuro! I have lost 118 pounds total so far but still weigh 318! My doctor is hoping there will be a coupon in the end of September for the weight loss form of Manjuro!

What about the approval for cardiovascular disease now for Wegovy? I’ve had 3 CVE and a possible stroke and I’m on Rapatha for LPa, and statins are not tolerated.

my medication was approved by my provider, but I guess I have a high deductible plan because they said it would still be 1300 a month out of pocket. Do you know how I would approach that?
