Docs make sure insurance covers btw. You obviously don’t know what’s going on.
Nearly everyone I know who takes Ozempic or Mounjaro paid for it out of pocket. All are women who gained 40-60 lbs over the last 5 years. They went to an initial consult Dr visit, injected themselves weekly and went back to the doctor once a month for bloodwork and general checkup before the refill was prescribed.
Most were off the injections for weight loss after 6 months and now inject a small maintenance dose weekly. The majority of these women play tennis 3-5 times a week and continued to do so throughout their injections. Age range is 40-60 years old. All are extremely happy with their decision to take the injections and the weight they lost. Zero cases of gut issues or cancer.
ETA Going rate for out of pocket here seems to be $3200 for 4 months of prescription, needles and alcohol wipes, monthly Dr visits and weekly injections if you want them to do it instead of you.
This is obviously discussed a lot court side.
