I took it for about 12 months when I lived in Portland and it was covered by OHP. I went from about 370# down to 290# in that time. I'm now on Kaiser in the Bay Area, and they do not cover semaglutide. In the short time I spent off of it, I gained 40#. I complained to my PCP (actually my series of 4 rotating PCPs -- medical staffing seems in disarray at the moment) and they found some injectable alternative for me (Liraglutide) which is more annoying being injection instead of pill, but I'm back to 290# after only 3 months with it. I understand they're both in the same category of how they act. The semaglutide tastes absolutely horrible, and I've had some mild gastrointestinal effects from both -- I joke they they turn any sugar I eat into gas and discomfort, so that's their "secret" -- but I think if you're in the group who these have a profound effect for, it's worth a try I would think. $0.02 :)
