Medicaid (weight loss)
Diabetes only
As of April 2026, Florida Medicaid covers GLP-1s for diabetes but not for weight loss. Employer and private plans can still cover them; that is a plan-design choice, not a state rule.

Medicaid status above is for weight-loss use and was compiled April 2026 from KFF and public Medicaid trackers; only 13 states cover it and several are mid-change, so confirm Florida’s current Medicaid and plan rules before booking. GLPHelper provides information and provider matching, not medical or coverage advice.

§ 04Medication factsheet
cited · last review 2026.05.19

The molecule in Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy. The brands differ in approved use and maximum dose.

Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist sold under three brand names by Novo Nordisk: Ozempic and Rybelsus for type 2 diabetes, and Wegovy for chronic weight management. It mimics a gut hormone that signals satiety to the brain and slows gastric emptying. The injectable forms share the same molecule; only the approved indication and maximum dose differ.[2][3]

In the STEP-1 obesity trial, adults without diabetes taking Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) lost a mean of 14.9% of body weight at 68 weeks versus 2.4% with placebo. In the SELECT trial, semaglutide 2.4 mg reduced major adverse cardiovascular events by 20% in adults with overweight or obesity and established cardiovascular disease but without diabetes.[1]

STEP 1 to 4 + SELECT (N = 17,604)

What the trials actually showed.

We summarize the STEP weight-management program, the SUSTAIN diabetes program, and the SELECT cardiovascular outcomes trial. Figures are means at each trial's primary endpoint.

STEP-1 randomized 1,961 adults with overweight or obesity (without diabetes) to semaglutide 2.4 mg or placebo for 68 weeks. Mean weight change was −14.9% with semaglutide versus −2.4% with placebo; 86% of treated patients lost ≥5% of body weight.[2]

Most side effects are gastrointestinal and resolve within weeks.

The most common adverse events in STEP trials were nausea (44%), diarrhea (30%), and vomiting (24%), more frequent at the 2.4 mg dose than at Ozempic doses, but typically transient.[1] Serious events were rare but include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and an FDA boxed warning regarding thyroid C-cell tumors based on rodent data.[8]

Boxed warning. Boxed warning: risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. Contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN-2).

Yes. Semaglutide is the active molecule in all three Novo Nordisk products. Ozempic and Rybelsus are approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy is approved for chronic weight management at a higher maximum dose (2.4 mg/week). Insurers treat the brands as separate drugs.[1]
