Abstract
Recent insurance policy changes have reduced coverage for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists used for weight management, creating barriers to care and increasing administrative burden for primary care providers. These coverage changes may limit patient access to effective obesity treatments and exacerbate existing socioeconomic health disparities. Additionally, rapidly evolving insurance policies and prior authorization requirements create challenges for clinicians attempting to prescribe these medications efficiently. This project addresses the need for improved tools to help providers and pateints navigate insurance coverage requirements and support timely patient access to GLP-1 therapies.
