A 2025 analysis by GoodRx found that 62% of commercial plans cover at least one GLP-1 for weight loss, but only 18% cover both Wegovy and Zepbound without prior authorization
Insurance Coverage: Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, BlueCross BlueShield, Molina, and Oscar Insurance are some of the major insurance companies that cover Wegovy
This is significant when compared to a recent Blue Cross Blue Shield finding that over 30% of commercially insured adults prescribed GLP-1 treatment discontinue within the first four weeks, which may be because of discomfort with early side effects, the high cost of certain weight loss treatments, and limited access to care
These dysesthetic symptoms can occur anywhere on the body and may migrate, appearing on arms one day and legs the next
It doesnt seem worth the setback for a drink or two
