Medical weight loss in Scottsdale

An older city changes the coverage math

Census figures put Scottsdale's 65-and-older share at 26.4%, more than double Phoenix's 12.2% ^[1]. In Maricopa County, which includes both cities, 30.4% of adults have obesity and 10.6% have diagnosed diabetes ^[4]. Arizona Medicaid does not cover GLP-1s for obesity ^[5], so the coverage that matters most locally is Medicare.

A local practice can buy the sponsored slot. It is marked sponsored, and the payment buys no recommendation from us.

The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, step by step

1. Confirm you have Medicare Part D. The Bridge runs outside the Part D benefit but requires Part D coverage ^[2].
2. Check the BMI rules: 35 or higher; or 30 or higher with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, uncontrolled high blood pressure or stage 3a+ kidney disease; or 27 or higher with prediabetes, a prior heart attack or stroke, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease ^[2].
3. Your prescriber requests prior authorization, which Humana processes centrally with a decision within 72 hours ^[6].
4. Fill Wegovy (pen or pill), Foundayo or the Zepbound KwikPen for $50 a month. Zepbound vials and single-dose pens and Ozempic are not covered ^[6].

Tirzepatide in Scottsdale

Scottsdale adults under 65, or who miss the Bridge criteria, can buy Zepbound from LillyDirect: $299 a month at 2.5 mg, $399 at 5 mg, and $449 at 7.5 to 15 mg as long as each refill lands within 45 days ^[7]. In SURMOUNT-1 the 15 mg group averaged 20.9% weight loss over 72 weeks ^[8]. See tirzepatide and Zepbound cost.

Local systems and what we could confirm

Scottsdale health systems include HonorHealth and Mayo Clinic's Arizona campus, home to Mayo Clinic Executive Health at 13400 E. Shea Blvd. We found no posted medical weight loss price at either. Look up any prescriber with the Arizona Medical Board ^[10], and use our clinic checklist and weight loss guide. Elsewhere in the Southwest: Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.
