[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope this is ok to share here, but I am basically tearful with jealousy at all the posters whose insurances are covering it even though they don’t have “medical conditions”. I am overweight- I should be under 150 for a BMI of 25, and I’m 170. I have no other health problems. I CANNOT lose the weight and I’ve actually gained 10lb this past year when I stopped being hyper vigilant about calories and weighing myself daily. I am struggling so much and have so much self loathing for my lack of “willpower” or whatever it is that’s causing this. But I cannot afford a thousand dollars a month. I can’t even afford 550 a month like one of the posters.

I just want to take this drug and reduce my insane appetite and lose this weight and be healthy and feel good. I am so angry and sad. [/quote]

Same here. I am 40 pounds overweight and have struggled to lose more than a few pounds. I persuaded my doctor to prescribe Weygovy, insurance wouldn't cover it, CVS wouldn't dispense without insurance coverage, and doctor basically said tough luck. I'm thinking of switching doctors in hopes of someone who will help me figure out a way to get one of these drugs.[/quote]

That’s very strange! Why won’t cvs dispense it without insurance coverage? I know a ton of people on it and they just pay out of pocket . [/quote]

I had that happen at Walgreens with my son’s ADHD meds. Insurance wouldn’t cover the more expensive drug and wanted him to switch to generic Ritalin against his dr’s advice. I tried to pay out of pocket while I fought it out with the insurance company, but the Walgreens pharmacist refused to sell it yo mr without insurance coverage.  Most ridiculous thing I ever heard.

This still makes no sense. I’m on ozempic and pay out of pocket. The insurance company is not my doctor, nor is the pharmacist. I’d definitely have the Rx transferred to someone who can follow doctors orders. What is someone was uninsured? Is cash just not allowed?[/quote]

I've run into this with other meds. If you take the rx somewhere new and just say you're paying cash, it should be fine. The problem is that your pharmacy knows you have insurance. I am not sure if it's an issue of the contract they signed with your insurer, or the way they get paid by insurance. [/quote]
