Ozempic and AMS: What you need to know

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription medicine for people with type 2 diabetes that's been in the news recently. At our recent AGM, someone asked if AMS helps pay for this medication. Ozempic belongs to a group of drugs called GLP-1 agonists, which can be an important part of some diabetes treatment plans.

At AMS, we base our support on medical evidence. We do provide coverage for this kind of treatment for members with type 2 diabetes - but only if they meet specific medical criteria and the medication is prescribed appropriately.
