Does molina cover wegovy for weight loss?

My doctor suggested a new type of weight loss medication, but it's quite expensive. I have the Molina health insurance plan. Does Molina cover new or specific weight loss medications like these?

Molina's coverage for Wegovy varies greatly depending on the state and whether you are on Medicaid or a marketplace plan. My doctor mentioned they usually require strict pre-authorization proving other weight loss attempts have failed.

Honestly, insurance stuff is so confusing. I think you'll have to call them directly because my uncle tried getting it approved and they asked for a lot of doctor certificates.

These plans usually make it hard to get weight loss drugs covered. While you fight for approval, focusing on heavy strength training and a high-protein diet is the best natural way to go.

Trying to get insurance to cover weight loss meds is enough to keep anyone awake at night! Usually, they don't cover it easily, so prepare yourself for some paperwork drama.
