    Hi Allanda! Thank you for sharing. This is great information! I’m praying your medication is covered! It’s ridiculous that you have to go through this! I’m glad the Telehealth Company tried to help you get the coverage. Bravo to you for advocating for yourself👏🏽 This is an example of you putting yourself first! Don’t give up! We all may need support from a compound pharmacy if things continue the way they are. Sharing this experience will help so many people! Thanks again🙏🏽🥰

    This was an amazing and superiorly informative video. I love how you tell stories and bring us along the way. Throughout this video, I was reminded that there are people who are rooting for us in rooms we don’t even realize. I am thankful to Fridays for going to bat for you when you were no longer a client. They even provided you with updates of what they have done when you didn’t have an active membership. To me, that’s great integrity.
    I am glad you’re armed to go to bat for yourself. You’re able to fight for yourself and not afraid to ask.. what’s next? What do I have to lose? I love that.
    Thank you for sharing your journey and being vulnerable along the way. Take great care of yourself and your wonderful family.

When I found out, I was floored. I thought that it was just once or twice like my doctor. They were earning their monthly fee! 🫶🏾

    I pray that it gets covered❤ It’s so strange when you’re overweight there’s plenty of issues and more illnesses to deal with but when you’re trying to get healthy so the insurance companies don’t pay for a lot of these weight related illnesses they don’t cover. I just don’t get it. I pray that it goes well for you.❤

    I’m with JoinFridays and am on the 5 mg compound, started 4/12/24 and have lost 30 lbs. I’m on Medicare and I’m praying that in January, they change their mindset on weight loss drugs because right now they won’t cover the meds. That being said, when the news came out, I was WORRIED to the point of feeling sick. Upon further research I’m a little better, but still concerned about what comes next. We definitely NEED these meds to be healthy. I love all of the digging you’ve done and the info you’ve shared and provided to us! Thank you 🙏🏻 😊

    Praying 🙏🏽 you will get your approval. I too pay out of pocket as my insurance does not cover any weight loss medications. I am so grateful to at least have the savings card to help with the cost each month.

    Praying for a good outcome. My Zepbound comes from Express Scripts. If you end up getting it from them, they are fabulous about shipping it overnight when they send it. It comes in a small/medium sized, white, foam ice chest with plenty of ice packs around the medication. Will keep praying until you say to stop!

    So weird how insurance works. I have BC/BS insurance with express scripts for my meds but they do cover my Zepbound.

    I have been doing compound from the beginning. My insurance excluded weight loss drugs period and will not cover the others unless you are diabetic. I am not diabetic. I didn't want to do telehealth because my dr had already agreed to write the rx so I didn't want to start over. So I found a sterile compounding pharmacy in my area that compounds glp1's at a price I can afford. I am just praying compounding does not go away. If it does I don't know what I will do.

She explained that they add B12, so they should not be affected. She answered so many of my questions and gave me some suggestions! I am glad that I stopped by. They are in the building and I never paid attention to the pharmacy or their name. Glad that for right now, we have this option!
