Starting July 1, 2023, medications prescribed for weight loss or weight management will only be covered if the prescribing physician is part of Flyte Health or Connecticut Children’s Weight Management programs.

FLYTE HEALTH is a virtual medical weight loss program for those 18 and older. Clinical weight management specialists evaluate your blood work, lifestyle, and medical history to prescribe a medication tailored to meet your unique needs and help you lose weight safely.
