I don't think as many insurance companies cover weight loss meds one would think, at least not without some other conditions such as type-1 diabetes, etc.

My proof point is based mostly on reddit forums where there are repeated complaints about insurance coverage of their medications, although I am seeing some success with coverage for Mounjaro -- which interestingly I think is the most expensive.

As others in this thread has pointed it, it could end up being a cost-savings measure for insurance companies if weight loss medications prevent other more costly obesity related complications down the road.
