Insurance coverage for diabetes
Approved indication is type 2 diabetes — covered for those patients. Off-label use for weight loss is rarely covered.
Compounded GLP-1 sources
Compounding pharmacies offer semaglutide for $200–$400/month. FDA scrutiny is increasing — quality and authenticity vary.
Telehealth program markups
Hers, Ro, Sequence, etc. bundle medication + provider visits at $250–$500/month. Convenient but more expensive than direct compounding.

Wegovy (the weight-loss-approved formulation of semaglutide) is more likely to be covered when prior-auth criteria are met. Ozempic prescribed for off-label weight loss is rarely covered.
