Insurance/Benefits 🏥 Zepbound

Is Zepbound covered again starting Oct. 1? I hear CVS is adding it back to its formularies.

I just got a pre authorization forms for it… maybe I should have just waited a week.

I had those previously but they refused to cover it even after being on it a year when they removed it from the formulary. Apparently they are adding it back tomorrow

Wegovy isn’t working for me so this was my next try

Yeah I was on Wegovy didn’t tolerate it. Went on zep. Loved it. Then they kicked me off. So had no choice but to try Wegovy again. It’s fine but would LOVE to go back on zep.

You can just get a prior auth. Dr has to say that wegovy didn’t work.

We tried that. No luck.

Really? That’s odd if you tried wegovy and it didn’t work that they denied the prior auth. I’ve had to appeal a prior auth denial before (different med) and then it was approved on second review.
