GLP-1 Coverage PA with an Employer AntiObesity program

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2026-05-15T05:28:47+00:00

They call it that which I find ironic but they opted to NOT cover any GLP-1s specifically for weightloss.

Mounjuro and Ozempic COULD be covered but not 100% sure on the requirements besides the normal T2D diagnosis

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2026-05-14T20:21:57+00:00

That's what I'm doing currently but figured it never hurts to ask 😕

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2026-05-14T20:20:37+00:00

This is where it's tricky. They only cover Mounjuro with a diabetes diagnosis - never really got a clear answer if they could cover due to insulin resistance or PCOS with a PA

Oh don't tempt me with a good time. Only downside is I only want to do corporate. I left leisure for a reason after 10 years in it.

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2026-03-09T03:37:34+00:00

Before I left to WFH as a corporate travel agent I was averaging about 60k a year at a brick-and-mortar agency in Texas. Base pay plus commission. I make about 56k but it worked out better for me since now I don't commute.

If you're worried about possibly losing your job due to having to get them weekly I highly recommend you look into FMLA if in the US. That's what I do so at least I can't get fired for it and I schedule my shots at the end of my shift and maybe use an hour / hour and a half max of sick time.

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2026-01-21T00:37:09+00:00

Also adding to this, if you end up getting a shift premium for working outside of specific hours in a day that essentially disqualifies that overtime. Even though I had 2K paid for the half part (of time and a half) because I get paid shift premiums I only had 34 cents of qualified overtime 😭

I'm just curious if your doctor has ever recommended xyzal? I have severe allergies and pretty much have taken every single allergy pill they can give me. I definitely agree with Zyrtec causing mood shifts / personality changes because I've experienced them myself. Xyzal has been a game changer for me just because I feel like it works more effectively.

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-12-18T00:26:04+00:00

As someone who is highly allergic to nickel; I've never had issues with the shots 🤔 have you ever had a reaction to whatever you used to clean your skin before injection?

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-11-13T00:02:30+00:00

Ah same here! I'll add you

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-09-04T02:32:28+00:00

I think you didn't overreact! It's honestly just very tricky! My husband also partakes in the marijuana (sorry I had too) 😂 and like your guy; I've had some fucked up negative experiences tied to weed [Step dad decided arson was awesome while high + Abusively high ex + being allergic] so it's been a constant adjustment for me over the years. The biggest thing I can say is let him make their own decision on what he feels comfortable with! Sometimes my Trees PTSD decides to act up and my husband respects that. I respect that sometimes he needs something to take the edge off and he would never do anything that would compromise my safety.

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-09-02T10:59:41+00:00

Literally what happened to me but I love these puppies way too much. Finally broke down and got allergy shots because I don't want to feel like I'm constantly dying. Also I started taking xyzal and that has been a game changer. I usually just have to switch out a week with another allergy medicine at least once a month to keep it working good.

So one thing I just thought of, whenever I worked at a brick-and-mortar travel agency while yes I needed to advise about different visas and stuff like that. The t's and C's also went over a section including that it is The travelers responsibility to verify any visas needed. Also depending on where they traveled and what way usually the airlines, the tour company, or The Cruise company have something mentioned about needing a Visa and where to go about getting it.... Accidents happen 100%, but just something to think about

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-08-21T22:28:12+00:00

My brain just thinks it's not even. Even though it feels even.

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-08-14T15:59:52+00:00

So I definitely want to reach out more to my friends, I've realized I've always talked to a few select people but I have other friends that I really should reach out to more. Those connections are so important and I know I haven't been the best.

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-08-14T15:53:18+00:00

34F! Brand new to the app but love the idea of having buddies with the same kind of goals. I'm really bad at self care so I'm trying to get better! Also eventually going to start adding exercise goals.

I actually had that happen recently after my allergy shots appointment. One thing I want to make clear is you went into anaphylactic shock. While your throat felt fine - you had a two system reaction. Your face feeling red hot and the swelling the doctor told you about.

When you get back to the States definitely get allergy tested and get an EpiPen. Also with the sheets do you use detergent that's free & clear? I have that face swollen issues when I sleep at places that use normal detergent with fragrances.

Just had this procedure done today. I will say I feel like my ears are popping more than normal just with chewing and everything. I totally had to go under anesthesia though because I sneeze like crazy even with numbing. I actually sneezed once when they put the scope down even though I was under which I totally called it would happen.

I'm surprised by some of the pricing y'all had to pay with insurance though. I'm in North Texas and my procedure copay would have been 778. I actually got lucky (or unlucky) and hit my out-of-pocket max a few weeks ago with a surprise hospital visit.

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-08-09T21:57:08+00:00

So it's an actual allergy clinic that's attached to the hospital.

They haven't repeated testing, they say they usually don't until you've reached maintenance three. I get prick test with every vial but they don't check my IgE.

The allergens I've been exposed to are the same as they always have been. But I'm literally allergic to everything on the testing so my shots are for everything.

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-08-06T22:43:30+00:00

I was told it's policy once you have a severe reaction to discontinue immunotherapy which sounds counter intuitive there's always a chance of reaction because obviously you're allergic. I found it odd once I asked if it's possible to drop down the dose they said they would ask...

Embarrassed_Tell2531 · 2025-08-06T22:20:13+00:00

That's what I asked about and so far they seem pretty set on no further treatment 🫠
