BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina coverage for Wegovy (Weight Loss)

For members whose benefit plans exclude weight loss medications, Wegovy is not covered. Coverage determinations are based on drug classification (anti-obesity agent), not specific indication. Coverage for chronic weight management varies by formulary and plan design.

Policy note: This exclusion applies only to commercial and Marketplace (Exchange/ACA) plans. It does NOT apply to Medicare or Medicaid. Coverage for chronic weight management varies by formulary and plan design — this is not a universal denial but a plan-design-dependent exclusion.
