Prior authorization for Wegovy (semaglutide for weight loss) typically requires: Being obese, meaning a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or Being overweight (having a BMI of 27 or higher) with one or more weight-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
2,3 A recent network meta-analysis also reported that approximately 25% of weight loss was due to lean loss during treatment with various GLP-1RA and GLP-1/GIP RA drugs
