Does aetna cover wegovy for weight loss?

I read that Aetna does cover Wegovy, but my anxiety would be through the roof worrying about prior authorization rejections. They might require proof of a structured diet plan for six months before approving it. It's so stressful to plan all this, but keep trying!

I agree with the points mentioned. Many corporate Aetna plans cover Wegovy, but you should check your specific online portal first to be sure.

You can check the coverage status directly on the Aetna Health app. Under the drug search tool, look up Wegovy; it will show you if it is covered, the tier level, and if a prior authorization is needed from your healthcare provider.

Aetna often covers Wegovy for weight loss if your BMI is over 30, or over 27 with other issues like high blood pressure. However, if you have blood sugar issues, they might prefer covering Ozempic instead. Make sure to discuss your complete metabolic profile with your physician.
