Okay but look at from another perspective. At $1K a month for Zepbound you're essentially exchanging out expensive, bad for you food habits like fast food, Door Dash, eating out, Starbucks lattes, and booze which easily add up to $1K a month if not more. Adding to that most people using it for weight loss will be on it for a relatively short period of time as compared to a life saving drug that someone may need to be on for their entire lives. So all in all you may spend $6K-$8K on the meds while saving a ton on foods you would ordinarily be buying - and if you take the time to learn good food habits while you're on the drug then you can successfully get off the drug and stay off, or cycle off and on. That part is up to you since you're in control of what you choose to eat.

You really do think fat people are just dumb af feeders, huh.

Just picked it up from a CVS in Fairfax. I called around and CVS was the only chain that said they could order it. And I got it in one business day.

There's a savings card that makes it around $550/month with zero insurance coverage. That could definitely be someone's dining out for a month.

It's not pure bull. The weight you are losing has to come from somewhere. If you're not getting enough protein and doing strength training you will lose muscle.

You are suggesting that the muscle loss occurs disproportionately in the face?

I just got Zepbound at Walgreens. FEHB covered it with a $25 copay. Crossing my fingers that it will help me.

Did you get a prior approval? What insurance do you have? When I search for it on the drug cost tool for FEPBlue, it shows that I will be paying $504.97 per month.

Yes on prior approval but it was approved within a day or two. United Healthcare is the insurance company.

I know health insurance plans are all about the deal they have with your employer, but can you say more about what the prior authorization involved? I know my plan doesn't cover Zepbound at all, but it does cover Mounjaro with a prior authorization. But I don't have Type 2 diabetes (yet).

I’m not really sure. The doctor’s office said they were handling it, and it was approved right away. I think you can check your plan’s formulary, or call them directly, to see which of these drugs are covered when you don’t have diabetes (I don’t).
