Does insurance cover Semaglutide injections in Fresno-Clovis?
While it's always best to check what your specific insurance provider will and will not cover, the prevailing medical consensus is that you may be able to apply your insurance/HSA/FSA if you are taking Semaglutide as a countermeasure to type 2 diabetes.
