Does wellcare cover weight loss drugs?

Been trying to lose weight for a while now, and my doctor suggested looking into some newer weight loss medications. I'm wondering if wellcare insurance plans usually cover these drugs. It would really help me decide the next steps, finances are a bit tight these days.

Oh god, dealing with insurance policies gives me so much anxiety. I keep hearing different things online, but honestly, I think it is best to call their helpline directly so you don't get the wrong info.

Most weight loss drugs aren't covered because they expect us to manage with diet. Focus on a high-fiber vegetarian diet with lots of salads and dal, it is much safer and cheaper anyway.

These modern medicines are so expensive and insurance rarely helps. In the meantime, try drinking warm water with lemon and ginger in the morning, it really helped my digestion and weight.

It can be really confusing to figure out drug lists on your own. I hope you get a clear answer from them soon.

Getting these insurance companies to pay for weight loss is impossible, they think we can just walk it off! Better to check with your doctor for some generic options.
