My insurance denied my PA related to cost and coverage. Has anyone successfully appealed? I'm considering going compounded instead.

Financial impact of cost and coverage weight loss beyond medication cost:
- Groceries: SAVED $207/month (eating less)
- Restaurants: SAVED $197/month (fewer meals out)
- Alcohol: SAVED $147/month (stopped drinking)
- Life insurance: Premium REDUCED by $37/month (lower BMI)
- Copays: SAVED $77/month (fewer BP/cholesterol meds)
Net impact after medication cost: approximately BREAKING EVEN. The medication pays for itself through reduced food spending and healthcare costs. This surprised me.

Insurance update relevant to cost and coverage: I just got my prior auth approved through Aetna after 4 attempts.
What finally worked: a letter from my endocrinologist documenting BMI history (>3 years), failed diet attempts, comorbidities (NAFLD + metabolic syndrome), and referencing the STEP trial data.
If your PA keeps getting denied, don't give up. Request a peer-to-peer review between your doctor and the insurance medical director. That's what finally broke through for me.
