BCBS coverage for weight loss can vary wildly by plan! What's your experience been? In my case, my BCBS plan covered nutritional counseling sessions and some weight management programs, but not medications or surgery without meeting specific BMI criteria.
From what I’ve learned, coverage for weight loss really depends on your specific plan — some include options like nutrition counseling, prescription medications (such as GLP-1s like Ozempic or Wegovy), and even bariatric surgery if it’s deemed medically necessary

I posted a ? about this. I switched employer insurance recently and just noticed from this site that my drug prescribed by my physician was not covered. This was covered from my prior plan. How do I ensure continuity of affordable care in this case?
