Only 19% of insurance companies cover GLP-1s for weight loss. Of those who do, 96% require prior authorization for GLP-1s (whether for weight loss, diabetes, or sleep apnea). So off-label GLP-1 use covered by insurance is not a thing.

Even garbage insurers prove that covering GLP-1s only modestly increases premiums. BCBS stated that eliminating coverage of GLP-1s for weight loss reduced premiums by only 3%.
