Medicaid (weight loss)
Diabetes only
As of April 2026, Texas 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 Texas’s current Medicaid and plan rules before booking.

§ 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]
