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.
