So for 4 months (almost 5 by now) I have jumped through every hoop my doctors have asked of my to get insurance to cover a glp1 for me so that I can lose weight, eliminate food noise, and keep prediabetes from turning into actual diabetes. I want to be here and healthy and active and involved in my daughter's life and not just watch from the sidelines because I have no energy. I finally got the message from my doctors office that I've gotten pre-authorization approved for Wegovy. Awesome right? Wrong... my pharmacy is still telling me its gonna be almost $1400 a month for the prescription and "I cant use the manufacturer discount because I can only use one or the other (coupon or insurance)" despite the fact the website says it works WITH insurance. I'm ready to cry because the last time my weight and food noise were managed was when I was on Ritalin until I was a teen and I haven't lost weight outside of disordered restrictive eating before getting pregnant. I dont know what to do, I dont know if theres a waiting period before the pre-auth effects the price at the pharmacy or if this is the end of my attempts to do this they healthy way. Any advice or input from your own experiences would be welcome.

Navigating insurance struggles
Body
I spent months earlier this year fighting with my insurance to cover a weight loss medication, and it was exhausting. I got so many mixed messages from my doctor's office and the insurance company that it felt like a never-ending loop. I finally realized that a lot of doctors will prescribe it if you just ask directly, even if it’s not the first thing on their mind. If you want, I can share what worked for me — it might help you get through the next steps.
