Do most private insurance plans in Canada cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss?

Coverage varies a lot by plan and employer. Some private plans do cover weight-management-specific GLP-1 medications (like Wegovy or Zepbound), often requiring prior authorization showing you meet BMI or health-condition criteria, while others exclude weight-loss-specific coverage entirely even if they'd cover the same drug for a diabetes indication. It's genuinely plan-dependent rather than something you can assume either way. Checking your specific plan's formulary and prior authorization requirements is the only reliable way to know.
