Formulary & tier

Anti-obesity medication coverage is the single largest formulary battleground in 2026. BMI thresholds, prior diet program documentation, and quantity limits apply.

Cigna's Performance Formulary covers most generics at the lowest tier. We check coverage as part of the review before approving your refill.

Commonly prescribed: Wegovy · Zepbound · Saxenda
Prior authorization

Cigna typically requires PA for glp-1 agonists for obesity prescribed for weight management (glp-1). Ondoc's clinician completes the PA form and submits it directly to Cigna — you don't fill out any paperwork.

Cigna requires PA for many GLP-1s, ADHD stimulants, and biologics. We submit electronic PAs through CoverMyMeds to speed approval.

California state mandate

California follows standard commercial-formulary rules for weight management (glp-1). No state-specific mandate expands coverage beyond Cigna's national formulary at this time. Federal ACA preventive-services rules still apply where relevant.
