"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.

Understanding Rates

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.
