Insurance Coverage for Weight Loss Medications
Many people today receive help managing their blood sugar and weight with new weight-loss medications. However, those medications can be expensive without insurance coverage. According to the Illinois Department of Central Management Services, a new regulation requires many major HMOs and PPOs to cover injectable medications that help clients manage their blood sugar or weight.
To further assist clients with diabetes or obesity, every client who receives coverage for one of these medications must contact their insurance company after receiving their first dose of the medication. These insurance companies will require their members to enroll in a Life Management Program, providing ongoing education and support about living with diabetes or obesity. Clients who don’t enroll and those who don’t comply with their programs will no longer be eligible for medication coverage.
