Insurance guide
Insurance coverage for GLP-1 care.
Coverage varies widely by province, private plan, diagnosis, medication, and insurer rules. Wexi shows medication pricing before checkout and provides receipts patients can submit when eligible.
Diabetes-labelled medications
Ozempic and Mounjaro are commonly associated with diabetes coverage criteria. Coverage for weight-related use can be more limited and depends on the plan.
Weight-management labelled medications
Wegovy, Zepbound, and Saxenda may have specific obesity or weight-management criteria. Some private plans exclude weight-loss medications entirely; others require documentation.
Receipts and HSA use
Patients may be able to use itemized receipts or Health Spending Accounts, depending on their plan. Wexi does not guarantee reimbursement.
What to check before starting
- Medication name and DIN if available.
- Whether obesity or weight-management medications are excluded.
- Whether prior authorization or physician documentation is required.
- Whether an HSA or wellness account can reimburse the expense.
