Prior authorization is a common step that most health insurance plans use to determine whether a prescribed medication is medically necessary, in their opinion. If your Kaiser Permanente plan requires prior authorization for Wegovy, your healthcare provider will submit a form to Kaiser explaining why they recommend the medication. Your provider can best fill out this arduous form after they know which medications you have taken in the past, for how long, and why that medication did not work (allergy or side effect). Kaiser then decides whether to approve the treatment to receive coverage. Kaiser may deny coverage and recommend an alternative treatment or treatments. Your healthcare provider can appeal this decision if there\u2019s no alternative available, but this appeal may not be successful either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWegovy is adjunctive, not a standalone solution,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonyaestheticscenter.com\/teams\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Melanie Abeyta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner, Licensed Master Injector, Longevity Coach, and Owner of Harmony Aesthetics Center in Los Angeles, California. \u201cIt\u2019s most effective when combined with lifestyle changes and behavioral support, such as a calorie-restricted, nutrient-dense diet and regular physical activity at least three times a week.\u201d Abeyta also emphasizes that patients taking Wegovy should set realistic goals, follow dosing instructions, and administer weekly injections at the same time and day each week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-save-on-wegovy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to save on Wegovy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your Kaiser Permanente plan doesn\u2019t cover Wegovy, you can use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare prescription discount card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to save up to $600 each month on your prescription.
