I am a 67 yr old female with a CAC of 613. On rosuvastatin 20 and Aspirin 81mg. I am a pre-diabetic. My cardiologist is recommending ozempic for cardio-protection. My BMI is 23. My out of pocket expense will be $ 575/month. Does any other cardiologist recommend this?

I haven’t heard of ozempic for cardio, but wegovy has been approved by the FDA for cardio and, therefore, even Medicare covers it, but you hit the donut hole very quickly and have large out of pocket until the next year. That was fine with me because it made me feel so bad I wouldn’t have continued taking wegovy after two months anyway.
