    Thank you. I was just denied Zepbound after being on that drug for 8 months approved with a prior authorization but needed a new prior and Highmark changed the qualifications post haste. So trying to appeal. It’s so frustrating that they can get away with putting patients and physicians through this. A prescription should be enough.

    Thank you for this video, doctor. As a nurse I support members decision to look for available resources (medications). Do you have a general guide of which insurances are more supportive of glp1 use? I work with obesity programs and as a soon to be NP, would love to have this access to information to educate my patients. Thank you for your advise 🙏🏼

      We do not have a list but we do have a guide to talking to your insurance company. You can find it here: poundofcureweightloss.com/glp-1-medications/ under the "Determine Your Coverage" button.

    What about if your insurance explicitly excludes all weight loss drugs?

      We have a program specifically for people who's insurance won't cover the medication. We use "creative dosing strategies" to make the real meds affordable. Check it out here: poundofcureweightloss.com/out-of-state/
