I am excited to announce that the FDA has approved Tirzepatide/Zepbound/Mounjaro. I love Tirzepatide and feel it is the most effective weight loss medication. Because of customer demand, many insurance companies are starting to cover these medications. You must check with your insurance to see if they are covering these medications for 2024. I can help you with a pre-authorization. However, I always recommend my patients make the first phone call to their insurance. As of today, December 27, 2023, there is a nationwide shortage of Ozempic/Wegovy. The pre-authorizations are easy to get; however, actually getting the medication can be challenging.

To be approved for Tirzepatide/Zepbound/Mounjaro, you must have tried two other weight loss medications like Ozempic,  Saxenda, or Contrave. As a medical provider, I will work with you for the best results. Since I have struggled with weight loss, I get how important this is. It would help if you had a provider who isn’t going to give you the same old “eat less, move more” advice. If we could do that, we wouldn’t need medications like Tirzepatide or Semaglutide. These medications are genuinely life-changing. They have taken away much of the food cravings I have lived with. If we can’t get them approved by your insurance, I can get the most safe and effective compounded medications. They have helped me get off over 55 lbs.
