How Cigna May Cover Weight Loss Treatment in Delaware

Weight loss treatment coverage varies significantly by plan. Delaware's mental health parity law (Del. Code Ann. tit. 18, § 3343) addresses mental health and substance use disorder coverage and does not directly govern weight loss benefits.

Cigna offers PPO, HMO, and EPO plans in Delaware with varying medical benefit structures:

• GLP-1 medications (such as Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda) may be covered by some Cigna plans, often subject to prior authorization and BMI-based criteria. Notably, Zepbound (tirzepatide) was not removed from the Express Scripts (ESI) formulary. It remains available at Tier 3-4 with prior authorization, unlike some other PBMs.
• Prior authorization is commonly required for GLP-1 weight loss medications. Clinical criteria typically include a BMI of 30 or greater, or BMI of 27 or greater with a qualifying comorbidity.
• Deductibles and copays for weight loss visits and medications vary by plan tier.
• GLP-1 medications are non-scheduled; Delaware EPCS requirements do not apply. Cigna's IP0477 stimulant policy does not govern weight loss medications.
