WHAT WE PRESCRIBE

Get treatment that’s right for you—we’ll help work with your insurance

Your doctor will work with you and your insurance provider to try to make your plan as affordable and sustainable as possible. That plan might look like:

Joe AGE 45 • BMI 32

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.

Rachel AGE 32 • BMI 27

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.

Learn More About Medical Weight Loss

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.

Yes, you can access weight loss medications if you don’t have insurance.

Some patients may notice changes within the initial weeks of medication use, while others may experience results over a more extended period. At Lyla Health, success is measured by achieving a 5% reduction in body weight within a 12-week timeframe.

Numerous adults grappling with health issues linked to their weight may qualify for weight loss medication, encompassing conditions like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
 
To be considered for prescription weight loss medication through clinicians on the Lyla Health platform, individuals undergo a rigorous screening process. This involves meeting specific criteria such as a designated Body Mass Index (BMI), the absence of certain medical conditions, and a track record of unsuccessful weight loss attempts solely through lifestyle modifications. For those without weight-associated health conditions, a BMI of at least 30 is required. Conversely, if there is a health condition tied to weight, the BMI threshold is 27 or higher.
 
Individuals who are not deemed suitable for weight loss medication can still utilize Lyla Health for the management of various health aspects, including lifestyle adjustments, chronic diseases, mental health, and urgent care needs.

Typically, these symptoms are most pronounced in the initial weeks of medication use and tend to diminish or disappear over time. Your clinician will establish an appropriate dosing schedule to address any side effects you may encounter and can modify your care plan as necessary.
 
More severe side effects encompass thyroid tumors, including cancer, pancreatitis, gallbladder and kidney issues, and alterations in mood. While these reactions are uncommon, if you observe any side effects that raise concern, it is advisable to reach out to your clinician.

Semaglutide and liraglutide, both GLP-1 medications, have received FDA approval for both type 2 diabetes and weight management, albeit under different brand names. Upon evaluation, your clinician may recommend Wegovy (semaglutide) or Saxenda (liraglutide), both specifically designed for weight management. Alternatively, they may suggest another FDA-approved weight management medication.
 
Metformin, a medication commonly used to regulate blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes, may also be prescribed by your clinician for weight management purposes.

If your prescription includes one of these medications, it is advisable to check with your local pharmacy regarding their ability to fulfill your prescription. Your clinician can redirect your prescription to a different pharmacy if necessary or potentially propose an alternative treatment plan initially, with the option to revisit your GLP-1 prescription at a later time.
