Anti-Obesity Medications

As of July 1, 2023, medications prescribed for weight loss or weight management are only covered if the prescribing provider is part of the health plan’s Medical Weight Management Programs.         

The health plan’s Medical Weight Management Programs include three options: a virtual option (Flyte Health), two in-person options (Yale and Hartford Healthcare), and a children’s in-person option (Connecticut Children’s). All three options offer ongoing support from Obesity Management Specialists (MDs, PAs, and coaches) who are trained to understand the complex factors contributing to obesity. Annual blood work is required, as well as a review of your lifestyle and medical history. Anti-obesity drug prescriptions are tailored to meet your unique needs, helping you lose weight safely. A Registered Dietitian will assist you with meal planning and lifestyle habits to help you support and sustain a healthy weight.
