Medicare GLP-1 Bridge –


What it is:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the launch of the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, a short-term demonstration program that begins July 1, 2026 and runs through December 31, 2027. The program is designed to serve as a bridge to the upcoming BALANCE (Better Approaches to Lifestyle and Nutrition for Comprehensive hEalth) Model in Medicare Part D.

The intent of the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge is to help eligible Medicare Part D members access certain GLP-1 medications for weight loss at a reduced cost.

Medications included in the Bridge may include:

Foundayo (tablet)
Wegovy (injection or tablet)
Zepbound Kwikpen (injection)

Important: Ozempic and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are not included in the Bridge program.

Eligibility criteria will be established by CMS and may include:

Active Medicare Part D coverage
A valid prescription from a provider for an eligible GLP-1 medication
Meeting CMS prior authorization requirements

The Bridge program operates outside of the member’s Medicare Part D plan coverage. CMS has selected Humana to serve as the central processor for the initiative.

Why it matters:
This program may generate questions from members seeking more affordable access to GLP-1 medications for weight management. Being informed will help ensure agents provide accurate, consistent guidance and appropriately direct members to CMS resources for eligibility and program-specific questions.

It is important to understand:

The program is administered by CMS and is intended for all Part D carriers
CMS determines member eligibility for the BridgeMembers currently receiving a GLP-1 medication through their Part D benefit will not be eligible for GLP-1 coverage under the Bridge program
