Coverage Criteria - Level of Overweight or Obesity Value Definitions:

The new generation of obesity drugs are approved by the FDA with a label that includes the level of overweight or obesity of patients for whom it is designed. Health insurance plans may adopt coverage criteria that reflects the label, or they may adopt criteria that is more stringent than the label, based on their review of the evidence, which may include considerations such as a drug’s value or cost and how it compares to other treatments.

Label

The health insurance plan in which the individual is enrolled uses the definition of BMI for overweight and obesity that is contained in the label for the drug

Higher

The health insurance plan in which the individual is enrolled uses a BMI level that is higher than what is included in the label for the drug

Only With Comorbidity

The health insurance plan in which the individual is enrolled does not cover obesity medication solely for the treatment of obesity. In other words, the patient must have another serious condition that is caused or exacerbated by overweight or obesity (a comorbid condition).



Under Medicare, obesity drugs for the treatment of obesity are not allowed to be covered. However, Wegovy has been approved by the FDA to reduce the risk of serious heart conditions in adults with obesity and overweight. Medicare plans can now cover Wegovy for those with serious heart conditions who are also overweight or obese because it is not for the sole purpose of treating obesity.

Obesity Medication

OVERVIEW

A new generation of medication to treat obesity has become available over the past 2 years. These medications have achieved significant results but are also high cost.

This page answers some of the most commonly asked questions:

  • How many people have plans that cover some or most of the cost of these drugs?
  • How does coverage vary based on where you live or how you obtain your health insurance?
  • Among those with coverage under their plan, how many have additional requirements that must be met in order to access the coverage?

OBESITY MEDICATION

The new-generation medication, often referred to as GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1)

Recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of obesity are Wegovy (semaglutide), Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Saxenda (liraglutide). The data on this page primarily address the coverage and plan criteria for coverage of these medications.

COVERAGE AND COVERAGE CRITERIA

The visualizations on this page look at coverage from two perspectives:

  • At the plan level: whether an enrollee plan includes one or more of the drugs in its benefit package
  • At the enrollee/patient level: the criteria and policies adopted by the plan outlining the conditions that a patient must meet to obtain coverage for the obesity medication

Bariatric Surgery

OVERVIEW

Health insurance coverage of bariatric surgery has become more prevalent since the early 2000s and the sophistication and types of bariatric and metabolic surgery continues to expand and evolve. Some form of coverage is present in most health insurance plans. There is wide variation, however, in the requirements that must be met by providers for reimbursement and by patients to qualify.

Examples of requirements include: the procedure must take place in a Center of Excellence, patients must participate in a multidisciplinary pre-surgical program, patients with a history of substance abuse are excluded and only certain types of procedures are covered.

COVERAGE AND COVERAGE CRITERIA

The visualizations on this page look at coverage from two perspectives:

  • At the plan level: whether an enrollee plan includes coverage of bariatric and metabolic surgery
  • At the enrollee/patient level: the criteria and policies adopted by the plan outlining the conditions that a patient must meet to obtain coverage for both the initial procedure and any subsequent correctional and revisional procedures

Prevalence of New-Generation Obesity Medication Coverage - US Heat Map

The percentage of people with health insurance plans that include coverage of new-generation obesity medication varies significantly across states. The combination of factors at play includes how people are distributed across market segments, the dominant insurance carriers, and the self-insured employers in the state.

Coverage Criteria - Level of Overweight or Obesity

A common patient-level requirement for coverage of bariatric surgery is the level of overweight or obesity using BMI as the threshold criteria. Health insurance payers consider a broad range of evidence to develop the criteria for coverage of medication, such as a drug’s cost and how it compares to other treatments. This visual addresses how payers have defined the threshold of obesity and overweight necessary for a patient to qualify for coverage.

Legend

Total Visual Lives:

Coverage Criteria - Documentation of Failed Weight Loss Attempt

A common patient-level requirement for coverage of a new-generation obesity drug is documentation of previous failed weight loss attempts. Payer criteria vary but generally include proof of participation in programs that address behavioral modification, reduced calorie diet, and/or increased physical activity, resulting in inadequate weight loss. This visual addresses the timing of the attempt in relation to the request for coverage.
