Your Guide to Affordable Weight Loss Solutions

While Medicare doesn’t typically cover weight loss medications, some Medigap and Medicare Advantage plans for retirees do offer such benefits. Consult your plan administrator to explore your options further.

IF your employer’s health plan doesn’t extend to obesity medications, don’t lose hope. You have the option to submit a coverage request. Your healthcare provider can guide you through this process to increase your chances of getting coverage.

In special cases, Tricare may cover your medication. A healthcare provider can initiate a coverage review on your behalf to determine eligibility. Consult your Military Treatment Facility or Tricare Network provider for more details.

If you have individual or family coverage via an insurance company—like plans offered through the Affordable Care Act—check if an upgrade or add-on can include weight management medication.

Medicaid coverage for weight management medications varies by state. Reach out to your state’s Medicaid office for specific details on whether your plan includes this essential medication.

If you’re a veteran, good news! The VA provides coverage for weight management medications. Consult your local Veterans Administration provider for more information on available options.

Are you a city, state, or federal employee? Your benefits manager can provide you with information on whether your health plan covers obesity medications.

Don’t worry if your insurance doesn’t cover weight loss medications or if you’re uninsured. We offer a one-year, same-as-cash financing program to make our services more accessible. Contact us to learn more.
