[quote=Anonymous]I have BCBS FEP Basic.   I've been on Wegovy for about 3 months.  I had to meet these prior authorization qualifications https://info.caremark.com/content/dam/enterprise/caremark/microsites/dig/pdfs/pa-fep/fep-criteria/FEP_Criteria_Wegovy.pdf

I met the criteria by meeting the BMI qualifications (by a lot) AND having hypertension.   I've used the wegovy coupon online and have not had any co-pay (like $0).  yay!  https://www.wegovy.com/coverage-and-savings/save-on-wegovy.html.  I've used this coupon at CVS and Harris teeter.

Just FYI, a few of these variations of meds are a bit difficult to find b/c they're on the FDA shortage list (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/drug-shortages).  Some are easier to find than others.  Be ready to call around A LOT to find Wegovy.  Hopefully, it will be better in September per the manuf site, but we'll see.

I just went to my regular internal med dr. for the rx.  She gave me a starter dose of the meds.  We talked A LOT about the of side effects and weighed the pros and cons.
