A lot.

You can get coupons to help with copays but you have to have a diabetes diagnosis.

It has been very popular for weight loss (hasn’t been approved for that yet, but it is in process)... a lot of celebs are using these types of injections (Ozempic/Monjaro, etc.) and probably paying cash. Without a diabetes diagnosis, you have to get a prior auth through your insurance company and even then the copay is about 1K. Per month.

I’m taking ozempic. I’ve lost 75 pounds and my A1C is 5.4.

Depends on your insurance plan. My copay is $5 per a month’s prescription (no deductible). I’ve been taking it for a little over a year, once a week and have lost about 10 pounds, which I did not need to lose, I’m diabetic, not over weight.

The good news is that my A1C stays at 6.0 to 6.5, An unheard of figure prior to taking it. The bad side is that I sometimes have to force myself to eat to keep my sugar level up to normal. That may sound enviable to some but believe me, it’s not.

Getting my insurance to cover it was a battle and I have diabetes. You had to have tried two of three alternatives first.
