How Cigna May Cover Weight Loss Treatment in Montana

Cigna offers PPO, HMO, and EPO plan options in Montana. Weight loss treatment coverage varies by plan and may include obesity medicine consultations, behavioral counseling, and prescription weight loss medications.

Cigna uses Express Scripts (ESI) as its pharmacy benefit manager (PBM). GLP-1 receptor agonist medications used for weight loss. Such as Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide). May be covered under some Cigna commercial plans with prior authorization. A key differentiator for Cigna/ESI members: Zepbound was NOT removed from Express Scripts formularies and remains available at Tier 3-4, subject to prior authorization and coverage criteria. This differs from some other PBMs. Non-GLP-1 weight loss medications such as phentermine and Qsymia may also be available under some plans. Cigna’s PA Policy IP0477 (eff. May 15, 2026) applies to stimulants and does not govern weight loss medications.

Montana’s mental health parity statute (Mont. Code Ann. § 33-22-706) governs mental health and substance use disorder benefits and does not mandate weight loss drug coverage. Contact Cigna at 1-800-244-6224 or Express Scripts at 1-800-835-3784 to verify your benefits.
