Stop losing hours to GLP-1 prior auths.

A done-for-you kit with a fill-in medical-necessity letter, appeal templates for the denials you actually get, and the documentation checklist payers grade you against — so a prior auth takes minutes, not a morning.

The problem

Every GLP-1 start is a prior auth, and every denial is an appeal. Each one is the same fight — BMI thresholds, documented lifestyle intervention, comorbidities, step therapy — retyped from scratch while the patient waits and the schedule backs up. Practices lose hours a week to letters that are 90% identical.

This kit turns that 90% into fill-in-the-blank, so you only write the part that’s actually about this patient.

What’s inside

Who it’s for

DPC and obesity-medicine physicians, NPs and PAs, office managers, and the prior-auth staff who send these every day.

What you get

An editable Word file you can brand and reuse (it also opens in Google Docs), plus a PDF reference. Instant download.

Questions

Will these guarantee approval?

No one can. Payers set their own criteria and change them. These templates make sure your letter presents the information reviewers look for, clearly and completely — which is what you control.

Do they work for my payers?

They’re payer-agnostic and built around the criteria common to most commercial and Medicare Advantage plans. You adapt the specifics to your patient’s plan — the checklist tells you what to confirm.

Are the files editable?

Yes. You get editable documents you can drop your letterhead into and reuse for every submission.

Templates & education only. Not legal, billing, or HIPAA-compliance advice. Every letter must be verified against your payer’s current coverage policy and your own clinical judgment before it’s sent. Nothing here guarantees coverage or payment.

Lagda writes the prior-auth paragraph for you.

The Obesity & Weight-Management app builds a payer-ready justification from the encounter you tapped — BMI, comorbidities, and criteria checked automatically.
