[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've gotten 0.5 filled in July/August, and 1.0 just a couple of weeks ago. It was NOT easy. Both times I had to make a ridiculous number of phone calls and was getting discouraged, but kept at it and found it. [/quote]

I think it’s the .25 that’s impossible to find. [/quote]

It's the 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 that are hard to find. Company said they're prioritizing 1.7 and 2.4 for those already on it. I was able to snag a 1.0 in PA (1.5 hours away) after calling 70 pharmacies last week. Thankfully now that I'm going to 1.7 next, I should be good.

Good luck, OP. Have you tried to get a switch to Mounjaro (better Rx, IMO). I wanted it but Federal won't cover it until it's approved for weight loss which should be October.[/quote][b]

Is this BCBS federal plan?[/quote]

Yes. It's widely believed that when Mounjaro gets approved for weight loss, it will be added to the 2024 formulary for BCBS Federal under Obesity category (right now it's just under Diabetes and for Tier 3) as it did this year with Wegovy. The Rxs are the same price but Mounjaro slightly more impactful. The pill form GLP and the triple G version Lilly working on has even more promise than Mounjaro.
