Wegovy Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Health Insurers for Not Covering Obesity Treatment Lawsuit comes amid increasing concerns over the widespread use of Wegovy and Ozempic, which have been linked to reports of severe and debilitating stomach paralysis. October 12, 2023 Irvin Jackson Add Your Comments A class action lawsuit accuses a Washington state health insurer of discrimination, for failing to cover weight loss treatments like Wegovy, since obesity is considered a disability in that state. The complaint (PDF) was filed by Jeannette Simonton last month in the Superior Court of Washington for Thurston County, naming the Washington State Health Care Authority and Sue Birch, the authority’s director and chair of the public Employees Benefits Board, as the defendants. According to the lawsuit, the health benefits plan provided by the state for public and school employees discriminates against people with obesity by failing to provide coverage for treatments and medications, like Wegovy and Ozempic, which are increasingly used to achieve rapid weight loss. Simonton works in a public district hospital, and is covered by the plan. Her lawsuit indicates she was prescribed Wegovy to treat her obesity, but the request to approve coverage of the prescription was denied by the Washington State Health Care Authority. “Defendants’ exclusion is irrational, arbitrary, and more expensive for the State of Washington than covering the disputed prescription medications. Indeed, the longer Defendants refuse to cover medically necessary prescription medications to treat obesity, the more they put the health of Plaintiff and other class members at risk for the many symptoms and co-occurring conditions associated with obesity,” Simonton’s lawsuit states. “Moreover, the cost of the prescription medications sought here is a fraction of the cost of the only other effective treatment for obesity, bariatric surgery.” The Wegovy class action lawsuit indicates the authority excludes coverage of any medication used to treat obesity, despite the fact that it is legally considered a disability under Washington State law. The complaint calls the continued exclusions “a vestige of its historic exclusion of coverage for disabilities.” Simonton’s complaint is at least the second such lawsuit filed in that state in recent months. In June, a similar complaint, also seeking class action status, was filed by Luci Solorio in Washington State Superior Court in King County, against Regence BlueShield. Like the more recent claim, Solorio alleges that she was the target of disability discrimination by the health insurer’s failure to cover medically necessary surgical treatment to treat her obesity. Ozempic and Wegovy Stomach Paralysis Concerns The class actions come as Ozempic and Wegovy have increased in popularity, as their weight loss effects have become more widely known. However, a number of former users are now pursuing Wegovy lawsuits and Ozempic lawsuits against the drug manufacturer, alleging that false and misleading information has been provided for consumers about the risk of stomach paralysis.

Lawyers are pursuing Ozempic lawsuits, Wegovy lawsuits and Mounjaro lawsuits over gastroparesis or stomach paralysis, which can leave users with long-term gastrointestinal side effects Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Ozempic (semaglutide) was originally approved for the treatment of people with Type 2 diabetes. However, Ozempic has been increasingly prescribed for weight loss, which is considered an “off-label” prescription. As a result of the popularity, the drug maker introduced a higher dose version, known as Wegovy, which is approved for weight loss use. Although the drugs have been marketed as safe and effective, concerns have emerged in recent months about painful and debilitating gastrointestinal problems from Ozempic and Wegovy, primarily involving a medical condition known as gastroparesis, which results from delayed emptying of the stomach. As a result of the drug maker’s failure to sufficiently disclose the risk, a number of former users are now pursuing Ozempic lawsuits and Wegovy lawsuits, each raising similar allegations that they developed painful and debilitating stomach problems, which could have been avoided if false and misleading information had not been provided for users and the medical community. It is also likely that the manufacturers will eventually face an Ozempic class action lawsuit by patients who have taken the drugs, and now may have to undergo medical monitoring to ensure gastroparesis injuries do not arise, or do not lead to other health complications.

This year the insurer has denied my coverage and now I’m paying out of pocket even though getting the weight off would greatly benefit my lower back and save the insurere untold amounts of money from back surgery medications and on-going back issues… Heidi February 3, 2024 My insurance company sent out notice that this year, 2024, they would not cover ANY weight loss drugs. This includes Phentermine and Qsymia, both of which are not expensive compared to Wegovy and ZepBound. The health concerns obesity brings and the overall savings being healthy provides should factor into covering these types of medications. If I had Type 2 diabetes, these drugs (Mounjaro and Ozempic) would be covered. And if some of us cannot lose the weight using traditional means, then Type2 diabetes may be where we are headed. It feels discriminatory to me. I am a healthy person otherwise, currently, and I cost the insurance company very little every year. Yet I pay the same as someone who is unhealthy and on multiple medications, often ill, etc., or those who have expensive surgeries, diseases, etc. Share Your CommentsFirst Name*Last NameEmail* Shared Comments*This field is hidden when viewing the formI authorize the above comments be posted on this page Yes No Post Comment I authorize the above comments be posted on this page Weekly Digest Opt-In Yes, send me a weekly email with the latest lawsuits, recalls and warnings.
