[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp’s talking about how they had prediabetes and going ozempic in 2021 are not relevant today in 2023. There is a shortage and doctors aren’t just writing prescriptions Willy Nilly anymore. First you’ll struggle getting the script, then getting insurance to pay, then finding a pharmacy who will actually fill it for you. Lots of pharmacies are gatekeeping ozempic and unless your prescription has a TD2 code, they know you’re not diabetic and you won’t be a priority.[/quote]

NP. That hasn't been my experience in spring 2023. I'm prediabetic, BMI=36, and was given a prescription and insurance coverage without issue. I've lost negligible weight but my A1C has improved.  All of my weight gain was in the past 2 years. I don't know if that matters. [/quote]

Insurance companies have changed their formularies in June and July, due to shortages. I know this because I’m diabetic and I’ve been following the shortages. BCBS is especially cracking down on non-diabetic use of ozempic. [/quote]
