What is Saxenda?
Saxenda (liraglutide) 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 and food intake by working on both the gut and the brain. Saxenda is a once-daily injectable medication FDA-approved for weight loss or management in adults with obesity or with overweight and weight-related medical condition.
How does Saxenda work?
Saxenda mimics the effects of GLP-1, reducing hunger and cravings by targeting receptors in the gut and brain. This can help individuals eat less and lose weight.
Is Saxenda covered by insurance?
Your Med+ 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 Weight Watchers Med+ membership and insurance coverage may vary.
At this time, our Insurance Coordinators can only work with commercial insurance plans.
This means that members with government-sponsored insurance, those on a Kaiser plan, or those without insurance will need to consider one of the following options: (1) pay out of pocket for a GLP-1 medication or (2) if clinically eligible, use a non-GLP-1 medication that is included in the cost of a Weight Watchers Med+ 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.
