Life Insurance with Weight Loss Medications
GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are transforming health outcomes. These medications can actually help your life insurance application by improving your weight and metabolic health.
Quick Facts
"Weight loss medications don't prevent you from getting life insurance."
Yes, You Can Get Coverage
Weight loss medications don't prevent you from getting life insurance. Your current BMI is what matters most. If you've lost significant weight on Ozempic or Wegovy, your new lower BMI may qualify you for better rates than before. Insurers focus on results: if your health markers are improving, that's positive for your application.
Common Weight Loss Medications
These are medications we regularly help clients get coverage with.
How Weight Loss Affects Your Rates
BMI is a key factor in life insurance underwriting. Obesity (BMI 30+) typically results in Standard or Table rates. Severe obesity (BMI 40+) limits options. The exciting news: weight loss medications that successfully reduce your BMI can move you into better rate classes. A 50-pound weight loss could mean the difference between Table 2 and Standard Plus rates.
