Wegovy® (semaglutide) is a powerful tool in managing obesity, but accessing it through insurance isn’t always straightforward. Due to its high cost and classification as a lifestyle or specialty drug, most insurers require prior authorization (PA) to verify that the patient meets clinical necessity criteria. In this article, we’ll walk you through the exact steps Staffingly follows to help providers secure Wegovy coverage—starting from checking if the plan covers it, all the way to submitting a strong prior authorization request.

Insurance eligibility isn’t just about verifying coverage—it’s about recording that verification properly. If the details aren’t documented, it’s like the check never happened. Improper documentation leads to denied claims, delayed payments, and billing confusion. In this guide, we’ll walk through how Staffingly documents insurance eligibility during patient intake, using the example of Patient Y, who is scheduled for a cardiology consultation. This process applies whether it’s a new patient, a returning patient with updated insurance, or a regular re-verification check.

Handling Family Caregivers Who Need “Just a Few Days Off” Then Don’t Come Back
It always starts the same way: “I just need a few days off.” As agencies, we understand the pressure family caregivers face, and we’re happy to step in when they need a break. But what happens when those few days turn into weeks and then silence? Suddenly, what was meant to be temporary becomes permanent, and the gap in care grows wider by the day.
