    Medication for losing weight is determined by your insurance coverage, the particular drug used, and the circumstances surrounding its use. While some insurances will cover the medication, others have conditions or restrictions regarding its coverage.

    In any case, you should check your insurance formulary or contact your insurance company to see whether the medication is covered. If not, a health care professional will advise you on the available options.
