[quote=Anonymous]I have struggled this year to maintain my weight standards for active duty, first time in 16 years.  Lots of things going on that's probably contributing to the difficulty that I'd rather not go into on a public forum. I've been to the MTF nutritionist and tried lots of things, now they want me to reduce my daily calories to 900. Yikes.

Saw a civilian weight loss doctor who recommended Ozempic, I only have about 7 more lbs to lose so the doctor thinks I'll only need the medication for about 3 months since I'll be on a low-dose.

Tricare will not cover it because I am not diabetic. I plan to pay out of pocket. However, I read recently on this forum that you are not allowed to be on Ozempic if you are on Tricare. I can't find any information online to confirm this. I looked at the prior authorization form for the drug and I don't meet the criteria for coverage which I already know but I cannot find information that active duty members cannot take Ozempic.

Thanks.[/quote]
