Aayu Well is an Illinois healthcare company based in Deer Park. Our physician-led care team sees adults across Illinois by video, or in person at our Deer Park clinic. We check your insurance before your first visit, handle prior authorization for brand-name GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy and Zepbound, and offer cash-pay options if your plan will not cover them.
Check Your Coverage
You meet with a physician, not a questionnaire alone, and you keep the same care team through follow-up.
Coverage for weight-loss medication depends on your specific plan. Here is what Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois says publicly, and what we check for you.
BCBSIL describes GLP-1 coverage for weight management as optional for self-funded employer groups, so your coverage may depend on what your employer chose. (BCBSIL, May 2026)
For groups that elect GLP-1 coverage, BCBSIL lists Wegovy, including Wegovy HD, and the Zepbound auto-injector. The Zepbound KwikPen sold direct to consumers is excluded. (BCBSIL, May 2026)
We verify your benefits before your first visit, file the prior authorization, and handle appeals. BCBSIL also advises members to check their plan benefits. (BCBSIL Help Center)
We work with most PPO and POS plans, many employer-sponsored plans, select HMO plans with referral, plans with obesity or weight management benefits, and select Medicare Advantage plans. See how insurance coverage works and pricing.
