What is Ozempic?
Ozempic (semaglutide) belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s). GLP-1 is a hormone produced naturally in the body that helps regulate appetite, food intake, and glucose levels by working on both the gut and the brain. Ozempic is a once-weekly injectable medication FDA-approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
How does Ozempic work?
Ozempic mimics the effects of GLP-1, which plays a key role in regulating blood sugar and appetite. It stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin when you eat, slows digestion, and decreases appetite, which can help control blood glucose levels and contribute to weight loss.
Is Ozempic covered by insurance?
Your Clinic Care Team will work directly with your insurance provider to help you navigate your coverage of this GLP-1 medication. The cost of the medication is not included as part of the WeightWatchers Clinic membership and insurance coverage may vary.
At this time, our Insurance Coordinators can only work with commercial insurance plans.
This means that all members with government-sponsored insurance, on a Kaiser plan, or who do not have insurance will either have to pay out-of-pocket for a GLP-1 medication or use one of the prescription options that do not require insurance and are fully covered in the cost of WeightWatchers Clinic membership.
If you continue, you will be evaluated for the membership-included medications to see if your Clinician thinks you're a good fit, or choose to pay without insurance for GLP-1 medications.
weight loss*

Ozempic mimics a natural hormone, GLP-1, to help you feel full and reduce hunger. This can help individuals eat less, leading to an average weight loss of 15% when combined with diet and exercise.
and heart health

The FDA has also approved Ozempic to help reduce the risk of worsening kidney disease, kidney failure, and death due to cardiovascular disease in adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
*Eligible patients with diabetes lost an average of 6.4% of their body weight (-13.2 lbs) in a clinical trial evaluating 2.0 mg semaglutide. Eligible patients without diabetes lost an average of 15% of their body weight (-33.6 lbs) in a 68-week clinical trial evaluating 2.4 mg semaglutide, when paired with diet and exercise.

After 1 year, WW Clinic members prescribed weight management medications who added the WW Points program lost 8% more weight than WW Clinic members who did not.**
