FAQ

What is prior authorization and why is it needed for Wegovy or Zepbound?

Semaglutide & GLP-1 weight loss information for Atlanta and Georgia.

Prior authorization is when your insurance requires extra documentation before approving coverage. GLP‑1 medications for weight loss often require it. Your provider submits BMI, diagnosis, and prior attempts at weight management. Some clinics help with the paperwork. If coverage is denied, self‑pay or compounded options may be discussed during your consultation.
