What are GLP-1 medications
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medications to help people lose weight by mimicking the body's natural GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and slow digestion. These FDA-approved drugs are effective for treating obesity in individuals with a high BMI or with weight-related health conditions and are prescribed under medical supervision to manage intake and support long-term weight control.
Tricare & Medicare GLP-1 Coverage
If you have coverage through Tricare or Medicare, there is a good chance that you have coverage for GLP-1 medications such as Zepbound (Tirzepatide) and Wegovy (Semaglutide). Our office and staff are very familiar with all of the requirements to get these medications covered by your insurance. We even offer FREE consultations where we will do a health history and BMI and body fat analysis and let you know if your insurance covers GLP-1 medications and your out of pocket price. If your insurance does not cover these medications, we have cash pay discounts and coupons that we can utilize.
How do I check my insurance coverage?
We would be happy to do a complimentary check for you. Just click the book an appointment button and select GLP-1 Insurance Verification and book an appointment. This will allow us to check your benefits without you spending your time talking to your insurance company and getting confusing information. We have an online prescribing portal that allows us to check benefits quickly and many times get your exact copay amount.
What if my insurance doesn’t cover GLP-1 medications?
If we check your insurance benefits and your insurance does not cover GLP-1 medications, you still have options. Both Wegovy and Zepbound have cash pay options which are as low as $199 for a month supply (4 weekly injections). The Wegovy Pill starting price is as low as $149 for a 1 month supply without insurance.
If that is not in your budget, we are always able to prescribe other FDA approved weight loss medications such as Phentermine which only costs around $15 per month.
