In today’s episode of “Hello, I’m standing right here and can hear you” 😳
Random person complains about insurance not covering Zepbound despite T2DM, sleep apnea, and not being a candidate for bariatric surgery.
Me, throws on cool RD shades and enters the chat 😎
- explains that they’re in luck
- eligible to have Zepbound fully covered after meeting with an RD for 6 months
A second random person with frowning face and suffering same condition, convinces random person:
- it’s easier to pay out of pocket than to jump through the hoops of seeing … a nutritionist after the Dr submits a rejected order.
- provides client with a stellar deal of $299/shot instead of Publix OOP price of $499
Me, 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️:
- seeing the dietitian and receiving the medication would be free this route
-explains that it’s not a hoop, just something that wasn’t articulated from Dr to Clients
Second random person spazzes
- explains that anything requiring work is hoop jumping
Me,
Random person agrees and is more interested in getting shot than working on any of the contributing factors
Average time person is able to sustain OOP GLP1: 1 to 3 months.
…
I guess they’ll be on my schedule in 6 months 😑
