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 😑
