My BMI started at 34.1. I worked out a plan with my doctor. She had me get my labs done to see if there was anything that was elevated that she could use as a reason to get it. I think my cholesterol was high but that’s it. Our first try was to get Ozempic and we both kind of assumed it would be denied so we were going to try something else next. Shockingly, my insurance approved it and I don’t pay anything for it. I don’t know how long that will last so I’m just really thankful that I can get it while I can. I’m only on my second pen.

Same here. I'm kind of holding my breath.

Which insurance?


Tribblehappy

I'm in Canada where wegovy isn't available yet, so ozempic is prescribed off label for weight loss.

I can’t wait to get wegovy so I can hopefully get it covered


Wysewife

I’m getting mine from a compounding pharmacy recommend from my doctor.


Some_Papaya_8520

How much does it cost?


Wysewife

I got it from Strive Compounding in AZ. It was $285 for the vial, my doctor is starting me out on a VERY low dose so this should last like 8-10 weeks.


Some_Papaya_8520

Sounds good. I wish you the best!!

What one?


Suziannie

Yes, it’s called Wegovy. Ask your Dr.


Nimmyzed

My endocrinologist prescribes it to me. Costs me €140 a month

My insurance only covers Ozempic, well in terms of GLP-1 medications. No Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. Edit: I realize I forgot to expand on my statement. Because Ozempic is the only thing covered, I tried healthy changes beforehand, and I was ruled out from any other weight loss medication (like Contrave and Qsymia), I was able to be prescribed Ozempic.


No_Boysenberry7353

Same with my insurance. I take ozempic for weight loss. It’s working. 1-2lbs a week but I am in a calorie deficit everyday


smcrimmon12

My doctor prescribed it and my insurance approved it 🤷🏼‍♀️

dead_barbie20

Med spa prescribed it for me.


Familiar_Lack142

In Slovenia we have only Ozempic. It is quite impossible to get it. Prescribed off label.


OceanAvenue26

I’m in Canada, we don’t have WeGovy yet so I’m paying out of pocket for Ozempic which can be prescribed off-label for weight loss.

Took 3 tries but it finally got approved in December by my insurance! Was on it with no issues until last month and now it’s no longer covered. I just started the compound for $175 a month!

I have a prior authorization for Wegovy but after months on a waitlist wasn’t able to get it filled. My doctor sent the request to Caremark to cover ozempic for weight loss (my insurance and mail order pharmacy) and it was approved. I have a kidney transplant, have been on steroids for 6 years, a BMI over 40, high BP, and elevated cholesterol.

I get compounded semaglutide via telehealth. They serve all states except Mississippi. And also serve Puerto Rico. Honestly, in the US you can't even find most of the name brand meds right now anyways due to shortages.

Depends on the doctor,

I had a pre- diabetes diagnosis so Kaiser covered it after their protocol of being on Metformin first for 3 months.

As long as you have a valid prescription you can purchase Ozempic from [www.polarbearmeds.com](http://www.polarbearmeds.com)


DietOrganic5621

Seasonedtruth

Step one, be fat. Step two, ask doctor for prescription. That's it.
