Some insurance companies are warning doctors against over-prescribing the expensive weight-loss drug.
If you think you're going to easily get a prescription for Ozempic or Wegovy and have your insurance automatically cover it, think again, as it seems some insurers are going through every prescription with a fine-toothed comb to ensure users really need the drug.
The skyrocketing demand for the drug has even created a shortage, and now, some insurance companies are warning doctors against over-prescribing the expensive weight-loss drug. A spokesperson for America's Health Insurance Plans, a trade group representing insurance companies said in a statement: "Health insurance providers will continue to review the clinical evidence and conditions for which a medication is approved to support safe and effective treatments for patients."
