What is Saxenda?
Saxenda (liraglutide) belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s). GLP-1 is a hormone produced naturally in the body that helps regulate appetite and food intake by working on both the gut and the brain. Saxenda is a once-daily injectable medication FDA-approved for weight loss or management in adults with obesity or with overweight and weight-related medical condition.
How does Saxenda work?
Saxenda mimics the effects of GLP-1, reducing hunger and cravings by targeting receptors in the gut and brain. This can help individuals eat less and lose weight.
Is Saxenda covered by insurance?
Your Clinic Care Team will work directly with your insurance provider to help you navigate your coverage of this GLP-1 medication. The cost of the medication is not included as part of the WeightWatchers Clinic membership and insurance coverage may vary.
At this time, our Insurance Coordinators can only work with commercial insurance plans.
This means that all members with government-sponsored insurance, on a Kaiser plan, or who do not have insurance will either have to pay out-of-pocket for a GLP-1 medication or use one of the prescription options that do not require insurance and are fully covered in the cost of WeightWatchers Clinic membership.
If you continue, you will be evaluated for the membership-included medications to see if your Clinician thinks you’re a good fit, or choose to pay without insurance for GLP-1 medications.
