Will insurance cover the cost of weight-loss medication?

Many insurance companies currently will not pay for weight-loss prescriptions, but this is changing as insurers begin to recognize obesity as a chronic disease. Contact your insurance company to find out if prescription weight-loss medication is covered under your plan. The cost of one month of a prescription can cost about 60 dollars a month to more than twice this amount. Ask a staff member at your pharmacy the cost of a 1-month supply of the medication you are considering taking.
