Does Medicare cover Ozempic and other drugs prescribed for weight loss?

Answered by 3 licensed agents

Part D providers offer a very large number of prescription medicines but the part D insurance companies require that you are using the medication for its intended use and many times these diabetic drugs such as ozempic are not going to be covered if you are using them for reasons besides being diabetic

It is coverage but not for weight loss yet. The drug may be covered with prior authorization. It is covered for type 2 diabetes.

It can if your Dr prescribes it and you meet the clinical needs per your insurance.
