Question about GLP-1
TLDR: if I get a prescription out of pocket for GLP-1, could I still later on get a prescription covered by Tricare through my PCM?
I’ve been trying to do as much research about this as possible, but I still have a few questions. If anyone can provide any information, I would appreciate that. Basically, I have been trying and failing for the better part of the last five years or so to have long lasting success at weight loss. I might lose some of the weight only to regain most if not all (and then some) time and again.
Because of this vicious cycle, I began doing a bit of a deep dive into GLP-1, and I think that they are right for me from everything that I’ve gathered. Since being in, I’ve gone to my PCM, a nutritionist twice, and tried many different diet and exercise routines—all to no long lasting avail.
Here is my question: if I pay for GLP ones out-of-pocket, is it still possible to get a prescription from my PCM through Tricare? I will do everything on my end by the books! I just want to know if getting it on my own will negate any possibility of the our insurance covering it later on. I just don’t want to wait any longer and jump through any more hoops. I’m tired of being obese.
