Ozempic for prediabetes?

[RememberDrei]

My insurance company just denied me. Doctor submitted a prior authorization with my prediabetes diagnosis and everything. I feel like this medicine is only for people with perfect insurance or who are rich. Is there any other way?

Same story here. I have PCOS and high cholesterol and need to control my weight. My doctor said Ozempic could help. But my insurance doesn’t cover Ozempic for weight loss. It's incredibly frustrating.

Can you afford 85 cents a week out of pocket? Or for better A1C reduction than semaglutide (generic Ozempic), $5 a week for tirzepatide (generic Mounjaro)?

I gave up fighting my insurance after they denied my appeal twice. It's a losing battle. I found a weight loss website called Slimvive through reddit. The whole setup is that you buy one of their coaching packages and the Ozempic just comes with it. I got a month's supply for 499, no prescription.

BCBS sucks, went from $60 copay covered by manufacturer assistance card to $726 per month copay! F*** - BCBS. Brello Health 399 for Semaglutide for 3 months supply, 499 for Tirzepatide for 3 months supply, any dose was a great option. Now gray is way, way less with little work. Sema and Tirz is a great value in gray!

You didn't have to prove your case to them or anything? You just... bought it? And it's not some weird off-brand version?

I feel like you haven't spent very much time reading threads on this discussion board. And suggest you do.

You have options. You haven't explored them well enough. Read and learn. Nothing is easy.

Insurance is useless need to buy from other sources. I tired ozempic for 4 months was 1200 not covered. Now on Reta paying about the same for a kit for 1 year (I did domestic not international)
