[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insurance companies decide what is covered. Not your doctor, OP. You can get a prescription, no one is stopping you. But you won’t have it covered so stop complaining, or else eat more bad food so you get full blown diabetes and then it will be covered.[/quote] insurance company does cover both ozempic and wegovy. so they already decided they would do it. and my doctors think i need them. it's weird to me that there the company needs to make additional approval to cover the medicine they already decided to cover. if they don't want to cover wegovy, fine. but why second guess my doctor? why would they know better what i need?[/quote] My doctor prescribed me Ozempic, but my insurance company is very clear they only cover it for[b] full diabetes, not pre diabetes[/b]. It may be a dumb policy but it is clearly the policy. I pay out of pocket. Your insurance company isn't saying you can't use Ozempic, they are just saying that they aren't covering it for you being overweight.[/quote] Part of this is because "pre-diabetes" is something of a public health scare tactic to get people to change their diet and exercise more. The diagnosis criteria are a little bit arbitrary. [/quote] Maybe it's a scare tactic but it prompted me to get Ozempic to lose weight (I exercised regularly anyway) and now my A1C levels are in the normal range. Better to do it now than wait until I had diabetes, even if I had to pay out of pocket.[/quote] OP evidently doesn’t want to do that.[/quote]
