Aayu Well is a healthcare company based in Deer Park, Illinois. Our physician holds a Ohio medical license, and our care team sees adults across Ohio by video. We check your insurance before your first visit, handle prior authorization for brand-name GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy and Zepbound, and offer a self-pay plan if your plan will not cover them.
Check Your Coverage
You meet with a physician, not a questionnaire alone, and you keep the same care team through follow-up.
Coverage for weight-loss medication depends on your specific plan. Here is what public sources say, and what we check for you.
The State of Ohio benefits plan for state employees stopped covering GLP-1 medications for weight loss, such as Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda, effective July 1, 2025. Prior authorizations already approved were honored until they expired. (Ohio Department of Administrative Services, April 2025)
Ohio Medicaid rules list drugs for the treatment of obesity as not covered, so Ohio Medicaid does not pay for GLP-1 medications prescribed for weight loss alone. (Ohio Administrative Code 5160-9-03)
We verify your benefits before your first visit, file the prior authorization, and handle appeals. If your plan will not cover brand-name medication, you can choose a self-pay plan instead.
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.
