Among programs recorded as available in all 50 states, the lowest is $139/month (AgelessRx, compounded semaglutide, monthly plan). 6 of the 49 programs listed have no recorded price.

Most-filled product

Ozempic

Nevada Medicaid paid for 70,791 GLP-1 prescriptions in 2025, 0.6% of the 11.26 million paid nationally and number 30 of 51 (50 states and DC). It reimbursed pharmacies $77.1 million before manufacturer rebates, about $1,090 per prescription, and the most-filled product was Ozempic. These counts include diabetes prescriptions, not only weight loss. Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda, the brands approved for chronic weight management, made up 1,240 of those prescriptions (1.8%). Wegovy and Zepbound also carry other approved uses, so this is an upper bound on weight-loss use, not a count of it.

From 2021 to 2025, Nevada Medicaid GLP-1 prescriptions went from 27,540 to 70,791, 2.6 times the 2021 count. From 2024 to 2025 the count rose by 16,026.

CMS hides rows under 11 prescriptions, so small counts are slightly low. CMS publishes no per-enrollee rate here, so a total reflects the size of the program as much as use.

Nevada Employee Plan and Insurer GLP-1 Rules

Nevada Public Employees' Benefits Program (PEBP)

Covers with limits

Nevada's PEBP provides weight-loss medications through its voluntary, opt-in Obesity Care Management Program, alongside medically supervised weight loss and nutritional counseling, per its plan year 2026 benefit guide.

  • The plan year 2026 benefit guide describes the Obesity Care Management Program and lists weight-loss medications among what it provides.

    “Obesity Care Management Program – This is a voluntary “opt-in” program that provides, but is not limited to, medically supervised weight loss program, nutritional counseling, weight-loss medications.”

We have no Nevadainsurer policy on record yet. Most commercial plans decide GLP-1 coverage plan by plan, so the employer's choice matters as much as the insurer.

How Nevada Compares to Other West States

Medicaid coverage of GLP-1s for obesity is optional for states, so the answer differs by state. Here is how Nevada and its neighbors in the West are recorded:

StateMedicaid and GLP-1s for obesityMedicaid GLP-1 Rx, 2025
Nevada (this page)Not covered70,791
CaliforniaNot covered3,089,327

Our recorded telehealth prices are not state-specific: $79 to $399/month on monthly plans. Medicaid and marketplace coverage is what varies.

KFF counted 13 state Medicaid programs covering GLP-1s for obesity under fee-for-service as of January 2026. Managed care plans may differ. Later counts may be lower: The RX Index, an independent tracker, listed 11 in a July 10, 2026 snapshot and says that is not a current national count. Sources read November 6, 2026. Policies change, so confirm with your state Medicaid agency or plan.
