Is wegovy covered by insurance plans?



Wegovy is a prescription medication used to treat obesity and overweight individuals. It is a new drug that was approved by the FDA in June 2021 [1]. According to the Wegovy official website, the medication is covered by most insurance plans [2]. However, the coverage may vary depending on the insurance plan, and some plans may require prior authorization [2]. It is important to note that the cost of Wegovy may also vary depending on the insurance plan, and patients may be eligible for savings programs or copay assistance [2][3]. NovoCare, the manufacturer of Wegovy, provides a cost navigator tool on their website to help patients estimate their out-of-pocket costs and find savings options [3]. Therefore, it is recommended that patients check with their insurance provider and consult with their healthcare provider to determine their specific coverage and cost options for Wegovy.
