Industry Trends - Increase in Semaglutide medications subject to Prior Authorization regulations

Insurance providers are moving Semaglutide medications like Ozempic to their Prior Authorization Drug list to help employers manage benefit plans and control drug coverage costs. Furthermore, in addition to placing Semaglutide medications under Prior Authorization, many insurance carriers are also revising their policy

to exclusively cover these medications for employees with diabetes only. Employees without diabetes who were taking a semaglutide medication for weight loss may lose their coverage for the medication. Each insurance carrier has their own policies on semaglutide medications. We recommend you contact your insurance provider to learn about coverage criteria.
