What does this insurance cover for GLP-1 medications?

Understanding Anthem's Partial Coverage GLP-1 coverage in Kentucky starts with the prior authorization process. Your prescribing physician must submit a request to Anthem's pharmacy benefit manager, including your medical history, BMI documentation, and records of previous weight loss efforts. If denied, you can appeal — but appeals add weeks to an already lengthy timeline. For many Kentucky patients, the total time from prescription to receiving medication through Anthem exceeds two months.

What are the more affordable alternatives?
