Do I have coverage for Saxenda?

by DrCurry Leave a Comment

Display Saxenda pen injectorSaxenda can be a very effective weight loss tool, however it is important to know your coverage and out-of-pocket expenses in order for us to determine whether it is a viable option for you.

Fortunately Vivus, the manufacturer or Saxenda, provides a help line to assist patients with figuring this out.

Before you call the help line make sure you have:

  • Your insurance card
  • Your pharmacy prescription card (if applicable)
  • A Saxenda savings card

The coverage help line number is 1-888-809-3942.  Please ask the case manager the following questions:

  • Do I have coverage? (Yes/No)
  • If yes, what is my out-of-pocket cost?
  • Is a prior authorization required? (Yes/No)

Make sure you write this all down and bring it to your appointment, as we cannot prescribe Saxenda until we can review this information!
