GLP 1 Program for Weight Loss - final notice

03/02/2026

Dear Members,  

Great news! More than 200 of your fellow GLP1 users for weight loss have received a new Prior Authorization and enrolled with Cecelia Health. We have received a great deal of positive feedback from members about their dealings with the Cecelia staff and the services available through the program.  

If you have not had a prior authorization since January 1 through ELMCRx and enrolled in the Cecelia Health program, please do so quickly.  

Prior authorizations from before January 1 expired on Feb. 28.  This means you will NOT be able to fill your medication effective 3/1.  To have your authorization reinstated, you must have your provider contact ELMCRx for a new prior authorization.  Once you have your new authorization, you must ALSO enroll in Cecelia Health. 

If you have any questions about a new Prior Authorization, contact ELMCRx at 888 279 2899. 

If you have any questions about enrolling in the Cecelia Health, contact Cecelia Health at

1 800 425 1607.

Please do not delay any further. Again, failure to update your Prior Authorization and enroll in the Cecelia Health program will continue to affect your ability to get your medication.  

DISREGARD this message if you have already completed the above-mentioned steps and/or on a diabetic GLP 1. 

For any other questions, please contact the Fund office.  Thank you. 

Sincerely, 

Ismael Torres
