Private Health Insurance

As you may know, employers and/or private insurance companies decide the prescription benefits coverage for each of their employees and/or members. If your plan does not cover and/or include medicines to treat weight management, please don’t be discouraged as you may still be able to access coverage by working with your healthcare provider.
