GLP-1 Insurance Woes in '26?

[quirkytryingstuff88]

My own BMI sits at 38 and my insurance still won't touch GLP-1 coverage. Might be worth asking about a prior authorization request though!

Getting coverage is genuinely rare, count yourself fortunate there. Beyond that, plenty of primary doctors just haven't kept up with the newer research on these medications and still cling to outdated attitudes, so they'll only prescribe for confirmed diabetes. Telehealth's a different story though, since qualifying is basically all it takes there because that's their entire specialty.
