Question

Does insurance cover Wegovy, Zepbound or Ozempic?

✓Last reviewed October 20, 2026 · Written by Dr. George Grunberger · Medical review: pending — clinician review in progress · How we review

Short answer

Coverage depends on the plan and the diagnosis. Diabetes uses (Ozempic, Mounjaro) are widely covered; weight-management coverage varies and often needs prior authorization. Medicare arrangements announced in 2025 changed access for some beneficiaries; check your plan's formulary.
