Also has type 2 diabetes
Joe’s BMI and diabetes diagnosis mean he is more likely to get insurance approval for a GLP-1 medication.
Also has high cholesterol
Rachel’s health insurance likely wouldn’t pay for a GLP-1 medication until she proved she had tried to manage her weight without it. After 3 months, if there were no clinical improvements, we would go back to the insurance company and ask for approval for the prescription.
Because Rachel does not have type 2 diabetes, she would not be eligible for Ozempic, but could be for another GLP-1 medication.

Approximately one in three Americans is affected by obesity, and many individuals express a desire to address this issue but struggle to implement lasting changes. The failure of over half of diet attempts is often attributed to a lack of adequate support.
The current landscape presents a potential shift with the emergence of new medications designed to target obesity and its associated chronic conditions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ten prescription medications for weight loss and related ailments, six of which are suitable for long-term use (additional details about these medications can be found below). When taken as directed, along with modifications to diet and exercise routines and under the supervision of a healthcare professional, these medications have the potential to bring about transformative results.
It's crucial to note that each prescription weight loss medication comes with its own set of potential risks and benefits. Hence, consulting with a healthcare provider becomes essential to discuss your medical history and health objectives, ultimately determining which medication may be the most suitable for you.
Each of the medications approved by the FDA functions in a slightly distinct manner to facilitate weight loss. Some may diminish your appetite, while others can impede your body's absorption of fat from the food you consume.
Crucially, these medications are not substitutes for regular exercise and a nutritious diet. In fact, if you are prescribed a weight-loss medication, your healthcare provider may suggest specific behavioral adjustments, including incorporating a diet and exercise regimen, to optimize the advantages of the medication.
Given the individual variations, it is crucial to identify the appropriate healthcare provider, medication, and personalized diet and exercise program that aligns with your unique needs.
Weight loss medication is typically available for most adults dealing with health conditions related to their weight, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
Eligibility for prescription weight loss medication also involves meeting a specific Body Mass Index (BMI) threshold. In cases where there isn't a health condition linked to weight, a BMI of at least 30 is required. However, if there is a health condition associated with weight, the BMI threshold is 27 or higher.
Common side effects of weight loss medications include digestive discomfort like upset stomach, nausea, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea, as well as symptoms like vomiting, headache, and fatigue. More severe side effects may involve thyroid tumors,
including cancer, pancreatitis, issues with the gallbladder and kidneys, and alterations in mood.
Individuals may use weight loss medications until they achieve the weight loss recommended by their physician. Ongoing prescriptions are common to support weight maintenance, and some individuals continue taking these medications as long as they
observe continued weight loss. However, if the medication ceases to contribute to further weight loss, it is advisable to discontinue use. The time it takes for individuals to reach their goal weight can vary, and there is no predetermined duration.
