Does fidelis cover wegovy for weight loss?

Getting insurance to pay for Wegovy can be a long battle. Even if you do get it covered, the medication only works best when paired with a solid protein-rich diet and regular exercise. Focus on building those daily habits while you wait for their response.

Fidelis does sometimes cover Wegovy if your doctor submits a strong case about your health needs! Don't lose hope, just make sure your doctor's office helps you with all the prior auth paperwork. You've got this! 👍

My relative in the US tried to get Wegovy through Fidelis and it took weeks of back-and-forth paperwork from their doctor to show they met the BMI criteria. Eventually, they got partial coverage, but they had to prove they tried other methods first.

Honestly, dealing with insurance policies is literally the worst. From what my family doctor mentioned, Fidelis has really strict rules for Wegovy because it is so popular now. Best bet is to call them up and ask for their exact formulary list.

I know how hard it is when you've tried every home remedy, from warm lemon water to strict fasting, and still need medical help. Fidelis might cover it, but you should have your doctor clearly document all your previous weight loss attempts to speed up their approval.
