GLP-1 Coverage & Costs in Utah (2026)
$79/month (Embody, compounded semaglutide, monthly plan) is the lowest monthly-plan price we have recorded among the programs on this page. Embody lists 48 states and our records do not name them, so confirm Utah at intake.
The lowest recorded compounded tirzepatide price is $129/month (Embody, monthly plan). 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. Recorded prices cover medication and known program fees, not a verified total.
Utah Medicaid Coverage for GLP-1
Medicaid: current status not established
KFF counted Utah among the 13 as of January 2026 and noted that Utah reported funding for coverage was limited to FY 2026. The RX Index, an independent tracker, reports fee-for-service coverage for obesity alone ended June 30, 2026. We could not open the state's bulletin, so we do not state a current answer. Confirm with Utah Medicaid or your plan.

Utah Medicaid GLP-1 Prescriptions in 2025
27,850
#43
$28.2 million
Ozempic
Utah Medicaid paid for 27,850 GLP-1 prescriptions in 2025, 0.2% of the 11.26 million paid nationally and number 43 of 51 (50 states and DC). It reimbursed pharmacies $28.2 million before manufacturer rebates, about $1,012 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 127 of those prescriptions (0.5%). 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, Utah Medicaid GLP-1 prescriptions went from 11,028 to 27,850, 2.5 times the 2021 count. From 2024 to 2025 the count rose by 5,639.

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.
Utah Employee Plan and Insurer GLP-1 Rules
We have not read the Utahstate employee health plan's own documents, so we do not state whether it covers GLP-1s for weight loss. State employees can ask their benefits office or check the plan's drug list.
We have no Utahinsurer 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.

Medicare Part D GLP-1 Claims in Utah, 2024
Utah prescribers wrote 129,608 Medicare Part D GLP-1 claims in 2024, number 36 of 51, with $159.0 million in gross drug cost before rebates. Ozempic led with 47,922 claims for 9,839 enrollees. Wegovy had 573 claims. Part D did not pay for weight loss alone in 2024, so these fills are for diabetes and other approved uses.

How Utah Compares to Other Mountain West States
Medicaid coverage of GLP-1s for obesity is optional for states, so the answer differs by state. Here is how Utah and its neighbors in the Mountain West are recorded:
| State | Medicaid and GLP-1s for obesity | Medicaid GLP-1 Rx, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Utah (this page) | Not established | 27,850 |
| Colorado | Not covered | 123,001 |
| Idaho | Not covered | 45,954 |
| Montana | Not covered | 22,719 |
| Wyoming | Not covered | 2,315 |
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.
