Aayu Well is an Illinois healthcare company based in Deer Park, in the Chicago area's northwest suburbs. Our physician-led care team sees adults in Chicago and the suburbs by video, or in person at our Deer Park clinic. We check your insurance before your first visit, handle prior authorization for brand-name GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy and Zepbound, and offer cash-pay options if your plan will not cover them.
Check Your Coverage
No commute across the city for a weight visit. You meet with a physician by video from home or work, and you keep the same care team through follow-up.
Coverage for weight-loss medication depends on your specific plan. Here is what we see most often, and what we check for you.
BCBSIL describes GLP-1 coverage for weight management as optional for self-funded employer groups. For groups that elect it, it lists Wegovy, including Wegovy HD, and the Zepbound auto-injector; the Zepbound KwikPen sold direct to consumers is excluded. (BCBSIL, May 2026)
Many Chicago-area employers offer PPO, POS or select HMO plans. Whether GLP-1 medication for weight is covered is often your employer's choice, so two coworkers on the same carrier can have different answers. We check yours before your first visit.
We work with select Medicare Advantage plans. Coverage for weight-loss medication varies by plan, so we verify your benefits and tell you what we find before you start.
We work with most PPO and POS plans, many employer-sponsored plans, select HMO plans with referral, plans with obesity or weight management benefits, and select Medicare Advantage plans. See how insurance coverage works, pricing, and GLP-1 care across Illinois.

It depends on your plan. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois describes GLP-1 coverage for weight management as optional for self-funded employer groups, so many members are covered only if their employer elected it.
