I don't think as many insurance companies cover weight loss meds one would think, at least not without some other conditions such as type-1 diabetes, etc. My proof point is based mostly on reddit forums where there are repeated complaints about insurance coverage of their medications, although I am seeing some success with coverage for Mounjaro -- which interestingly I think is the most expensive. https://reddit.com/r/Ozempic/search?q=insurance&restrict_sr=on https://reddit.com/r/Ozempic/search?q=insurance&restrict_sr=... https://reddit.com/r/loseit/search?q=insurance&restrict_sr=on https://reddit.com/r/loseit/search?q=insurance&restrict_sr=o... https://reddit.com/r/Mounjaro/search?q=insurance&restrict_sr=on https://reddit.com/r/Mounjaro/search?q=insurance&restrict_sr... As others in this thread has pointed it, it could end up being a cost-savings measure for insurance companies if weight loss medications prevent other more costly obesity related complications down the road.

We're on a good employer plan, and weight loss meds are all out of pocket.

You are correct, even though it is understood that obesity can lead to other serious health conditions. One approach the Apis Bull is taking is to trial GLP-1 drugs as separate meds for treating other conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, etc. Unfortunately, creating a library of GLP-1 drugs costs significantly more than having a single one for treating the underlying problem.
