Before you refill your GLP-1 medicine, make sure you've done everything your insurance asks for to ensure your medication is covered. As part of your insurance company’s requirements, please make sure to use your Omada app at least 4 times over the past 31 days and weigh yourself with the Omada scale at least 4 times in the last 31 days. After you've done this, you may want to call your pharmacy insurance to check if there’s anything else you need to do to get your medication. Here is some helpful information to make sure you meet all the rules and know how it works:
Understand the Requirements:
We count your engagement requirements using a rolling 31 day lookback period. A rolling 31 day lookback period means that, at any point in time, we look at your last 31 days of activity, including today, to count your engagement.
Everyday, the lookback period shifts forward by one day, always keeping the focus on the most recent 31 days.
For example, let’s say today is April 17. The rolling 31 day lookback period covers March 19 to April 17. Tomorrow, April 18, it will cover March 20 to April 18, dropping the oldest date, March 19, and adding the newest one, April 18.
Flexible Scheduling:
A simple way to meet your requirements is to use the Omada app and scale at least once a week. This routine not only helps in meeting requirements but also supports ongoing progress.
Even better: Use the app and scale twice a week. Going above the minimum gives you some wiggle room and helps make sure you won't miss your requirements. Check out the benefits of engaging with the Omada program while taking a GLP-1 medication here!
Adapt When Necessary:
If you’re unable to keep up with weekly engagements for any reason, remember that you’re not out of luck. You can engage and weigh in multiple times in a week to catch up within the lookback period.
Consider a Buffer Window:
After meeting your requirements, it can take 1 day for the pharmacy to process and prepare your prescription.
To avoid any delays in accessing your medications, aim to meet your activity requirements slightly ahead of your anticipated needs to account for this processing time. After you've done this, you may want to call your pharmacy insurance to check if there’s anything else you need to do to get your medication.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure ongoing eligibility for your medications. Understanding the evaluation process, maintaining a consistent routine, and considering a buffer window will help keep your health management on track and avoid interruptions.
