[quote=Anonymous]I have BCBS FedBlue standard, and neither Zepbound nor Ozempic is covered now. Ozempic was covered when I took it in 2023 without pre-authorization, but then they changed it starting Jan 2024, and it wasn't, and I got off. I didn't really lose weight on it. I wanted (maybe needed) to go on a GLP-1 starting in October 2025 because I was on a steroid medication that was making me gain weight rapidly. My BMI was in the "overweight" category, but not obese. I had no other comorbidities (like high A1C, high blood pressure, sleep apnea), and despite the medical condition I needed to take steroids for, FedBlue would not cover Ozempic or Zepbound. I pay out of pocket ($449 per month) for Zepbound through Lilly. It's working though! I've lost 22lbs in 4.5 months.[/quote]
