Pulling Back The Curtains on Weight Loss Programs
It's time to reveal the shocking truth behind the glitz and glamour of popular weight loss options like Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, and Medifast. Most consumers are completely unaware of the hidden costs associated with these programs. In fact, these popular programs deliberately withhold the true costs until you've already committed!
To make matters even worse, most insurance companies don't cover weight loss programs. They consider them to be "elective" procedures, which means their costs are typically not covered under most plans. This leaves you with the burden of paying out of pocket, affecting your household budget greatly.
The Struggle is Real!
Not to mention, 70% of Americans are currently overweight, with one-third of those being obese. It's a shocking statistic that shows the struggles that many Americans face when trying to achieve weight loss success. With existing programs and methods often falling short, it's time for a game-changer.
Thankfully, on June 4, 2021, the FDA approved the first new class of weight-loss medications: Semaglutide or GLP-1.
Game-Changing FDA Approved Medication
Semaglutide or GLP-1 is a groundbreaking medication that has shown remarkable results for long-term weight management in adults with obesity or those who are overweight with at least one weight-related illness such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. When paired with a low-calorie diet and increased physical activity, Semaglutide offers hope for those looking to make lasting changes.
At Slim Texas Medical, we are proud to offer this FDA-approved medication as part of our comprehensive weight loss program. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to achieve their weight loss goals, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Below, we've provided some guidance for different
types of insurance coverage:
Employer-Covered and/or Private Insurance
If your company's plan doesn't include coverage for weight loss medications, don't be frustrated. You can still request coverage with the help of your healthcare provider. Just submit a letter of medical necessity explaining why you need the medication and how it will benefit your overall health. Many insurance companies will consider this request upon review.
Medicare Coverage
Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover medicines for obesity. However, there may be select Medigap and Medicare Advantage plans for retirees that offer coverage. Please check with your plan's administrator for more information.
Medicaid Coverage
Each state decides for itself what prescription drugs to cover through Medicaid. Contact your state's Medicaid office to determine if it covers medicines for weight management and obesity.
VA Coverage
The VA does provide coverage for obesity management. Visit your local Veterans Administration provider's office to discuss the obesity medication options available to you. Also, bring along a letter from your healthcare provider explaining the need for this medication.
Tricare Coverage
In certain situations, Tricare plans offer coverage for weight loss medication. Your healthcare provider can request a coverage review to determine if you are eligible. Please contact your Military Treatment Facility or Tricare Network provider for further assistance.
Government Employee Benefits
If you work for the city, state, or federal government, reach out to your benefits manager to inquire about coverage for obesity medications. You may be pleasantly surprised!
Individual and Family Coverage Through an Insurance Company
If you have coverage directly through an insurance company, such as through the Affordable Care Act, check with your provider to see if you are eligible for an upgrade or add-on to your plan. Your healthcare provider can also assist you with this process.
