"The BEST decision was filling out that form...Simply amazing and worth every penny"

After both my PA and Appeal were denied, I was beyond annoyed and upset. I knew I was too emotionally attached at the time to really tackle the issue. I had seen Honest Care mentioned on Reddit before and took a screenshot. I decide to try their services and it was by far the best decision I could have made. Truthfully, I was still nervous but all that went away after I received my Appeal Packet and subsequent phone call with Daniel. Simply amazing and worth every penny. Without hesitation, I recommend Honest Care. It was one of the best decisions I made for my health.

I appreciated the automated form that collected all my information and seamlessly created a letter for me. Discovering this service was a relief. The blend of automation with personal assistance made all the difference. I knew I needed this support, and finding it so easily was a game-changer for me."

"This really takes the burden off of me. I could have written a letter but it would not have been this detailed"

"I think you guys did a great job gather the data and putting the letter together. This really takes the burden off of me. I could have written a letter but it would not have been this detailed because I’m coming from an emotional stand point of just being frustrated with my insurance.   Whether it’s denied or accepted I would give you 10/10."

Frequently asked questions

How does Honest Care help with insurance denials?

We help patients fight insurance coverage denials so they can get access to the medications and treatments they deserve. We currently specialize in insurance coverage denials for Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound.

If you are denied coverage for Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound, Honest Care can help fight your denial by submitting an ‘appeal’ to your insurance. An appeal is a formal request to your health insurance company to overturn their denial and grant coverage on your behalf. An appeal generally consists of a formal letter, addressed to your insurance, explaining why a medication should be covered on your behalf and why your insurance’s initial denial should be overturned.

You have the right to appeal to your insurance’s coverage denial. Honest Care simplifies the appeals process by writing an appeal letter and supporting documents on your behalf making your best arguments for medication coverage, following your completion of our proprietary GLP-1 denial assessment.

Should I appeal if my insurance denied coverage?

If your insurance denied coverage for Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound, you have the legal right to ask your insurance to reconsider the coverage denial by sending an ‘appeal’.  Unfortunately coverage denials too often go unchallenged. A study from September 2023 found that 69% of people who were denied coverage by their insurance didn’t know they could appeal, and 85% of people never tried to appeal.

We believe it always makes sense to appeal. Here is why:

Appeals work: According to a study analyzing data from several U.S. states, patients who appealed directly to their insurance provider (an internal appeal) experienced a success rate between 39-59%.

Denials are often issued by mistake: A computer almost always makes the initial decision to deny medication coverage. This results in denials that don’t actually consider your personal health situation or denials made by mistake. In the case of Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, incorrectly entered information about your BMI, labs including A1c, your health conditions and diagnoses, your medication history and current medication use can all lead to an automatic denial. When you appeal, your information is reviewed by a real person.

Doctors review appeals, not computers: Having a doctor consider your unique circumstances makes submitting an appeal a powerful process for overturning denials getting covered.

You deserve the best care: You have the legal right to fight the treatment you need. As a part of the Affordable Care Act, all health insurance plans are required to allow their members to appeal their coverage decisions. This spans all insurance coverage - whether you are insured through your employer, purchased an insurance plan through your state marketplace, or are insured through a government program like Medicare or Medicaid.

How can working with a regular doctor increase your chance of insurance coverage compared to telehealth?

Working with your regular doctor can increase your chance of insurance coverage in several ways, including:

  • When your insurance plan is making a decision on whether to cover your GLP-1 prescription, they will want to review your medical history and recent labs results. Your doctor already has this information within your patient chart, and if you don’t have recent labs, your doctor can order new labs during your appointment. Most online, telehealth-based GLP-1 clinics do not have access to your full medical history in your patient chart, which limits their ability to achieve insurance approval.
  • In the event your insurance plan initially denies coverage for your GLP-1, this decision can be appealed by your doctor by writing a “Letter of Medical Necessity” and sending it your insurance company. Writing an effective letter requires a doctor to have a real relationship with their patient. Online, telehealth-based GLP-1 clinics find it challenging to write effective "Letters of Medical Necessity" given their lack of personal relationships with patients.
  • Insurance plans are increasingly flagging and scrutinizing GLP-1 prescriptions written by online, telehealth-based GLP-1 clinics. Working with a regular doctor can help avoid this additional scrutiny.

Can the Honest Care Report be shared with telehealth doctors?

Yes - your Honest Care Report can be submitted to any doctor, including doctors working with online, telehealth-based GLP-1 clinics. Taking the Honest Care Assessment before engaging with a telehealth services presents several advantages, including helping you save money.

By using Honest Care before engaging with a telehealth company, you’ll find out how likely you are to get a GLP-1 prescription and will receive guidance on any recommended steps to take before your GLP-1 appointment. This can save you money by avoiding paying subscription fees until you’re fully prepared for your telehealth appointment.

Who is eligible for GLP-1s?

There are nearly 10 GLP-1 medications available in the United States. Currently three of those medications, Zepbound®, Wegovy® and Saxenda®, are FDA-indicated for weight-loss assistance. The FDA indicates that people with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 OR people with a BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 who have been diagnosed with at least 1 weight-related condition are eligible for GLP-1s.

All other GLP-1 medications, including Ozempic® and Mounjaro®, are currently FDA-indicated for people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

I already know I’m eligible for GLP-1s based on FDA-guidelines. How can Honest Care help me with eligibility?

While FDA-guidelines are critical for understanding GLP-1 eligibility, there are a number of other factors to consider for determining GLP-1 eligibility.

Additional eligibility criteria that Honest Care takes into account include:

  • Weight-related conditions by importance in Prior Authorization (PA) - insurance plans often take certain conditions more seriously than others when determining GLP-1 eligibility.
  • Medication step therapy - many insurance plans only consider patients eligible for GLP-1 coverage only after trying lower-cost weight loss assistance medications first.
  • Ethnicity-based BMI guidelines for determining whether a patient is overweight by ethnicity.

What is Prior Authorization (PA)? Does Honest Care help with insurance?

Prior Authorization (PA) is a process run by insurance plans to determine how necessary a medication is. Most insurance plans require Prior Authorization (PA) before approving coverage for GLP-1s.

After your GLP-1 prescription is written, your insurance plan will notify your doctor if a PA is required and ask your doctor for additional documentation on why your medication is necessary.

If a PA is required, your insurance plan will ask your doctor to submit detailed information on your diet and exercise history, your past weight loss attempts, weight loss medications you previously tried, and any unique challenges that you face that make a GLP-1 medically necessary.

The Honest Care Report includes evidence requested by most insurance plans and can be submitted to your insurance during the PA process. During your appointment, your doctor can attach your Honest Care Report to your health record so it is submitted as supporting evidence to your insurance if Prior Authorization is required.
