Good to know

FDA-approved for type 2 DIABETES, not weight loss. Prescribed off-label for weight by some clinicians, but off-label use is rarely covered for weight loss.

How to pay less

• Insurance + appeal if denied usually beats any cash price.
• Medicare Part D: the GLP-1 Bridge (from July 1, 2026).
• Medicaid: status varies by state.
