It's increasingly common but far from universal. Some employer plans have added GLP-1 weight-management coverage in recent years given rising demand, often with specific criteria or annual caps, while many plans still don't cover it at all or only cover it under a diabetes indication. It's worth checking your specific plan's drug formulary directly rather than assuming based on general trends.
