SHORT-TERM CARE INSURANCE
This can help in addition to your Medicare, Individual, or group policy.

Sometimes life doesn’t go according to plan. An unexpected accident, illness, or surgery can leave you needing care and assistance while you recover.

That’s where Short-Term Care Insurance may help. ❤️

It can provide temporary coverage for care needs such as:
🏠 Home health care
🏡 Assisted living
🩺 Nursing home care
💪 Rehabilitation services

Short-term care coverage may be an option for those who need temporary assistance, can’t qualify for traditional long-term care insurance, or need coverage during the elimination period of a long-term care policy.

Protection. Peace of mind. Plan ahead.

Don’t wait until you’re facing a care need to find out what options are available.

🧡 LONG-TERM CARE: DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU NEED IT

Long-term care is something many people don’t think about until the need suddenly arises.

Long-term care insurance can help cover the cost of care for chronic illnesses or disabilities, including assistance with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, or getting around.

Care may be provided:
🏠 In your own home
🤝 Through a community-based program
🏡 In an assisted living or long-term care facility

The reality is, the cost of care can add up quickly, and traditional health insurance and Medicare generally don’t cover ongoing custodial long-term care.

Planning ahead can help protect your savings, your family, and the choices you have about your care.

❤️ Don’t wait until it’s too late to start the conversation.

We’ve been posting about the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge for a few weeks now.

What it is: A CMS demonstration program giving eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries access to certain GLP-1 weight loss medications for $50 a month. everything in one place. Save this one.

When it starts: July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027.

Which medications: Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo.

Who qualifies: Medicare Part D beneficiaries using these medications for weight management only, who meet BMI and health criteria confirmed by their doctor. People already getting GLP-1 coverage through Part D for diabetes, sleep apnea, or MASH do not qualify.

How the $50 works: Flat copay at the pharmacy. Does not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. Stays $50 regardless of where you are in your plan year.

What to do right now: Talk to your doctor. Find your Medicare card. Make sure you’re on an eligible plan type.

What I can help with: Confirming whether your plan qualifies, answering eligibility questions, and making sure you’re not caught off guard on July 1.

We are Reliable Consulting Group, we have three Medicare agents covering Ohio and Pennsylvania . This is what we do.

DM us the word BRIDGE and we will send you the full breakdown. 👇

Can we ask you a favor?

Think about the people in your life who are on Medicare. A parent. A neighbor. Someone from church. A friend who just retired.

Now think about whether any of them have mentioned struggling to afford weight loss medication. Or been told Medicare doesn’t cover it. Or just quietly given up on asking.

Starting July 1, that might not be true anymore.

Eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries can access Wegovy, Zepbound, or Foundayo for $50 a month through this new CMS program. It runs through December 2027. And most people on Medicare have absolutely no idea it exists.

You might be the reason someone finds out.

Forward this post. Share it on your page. Text it to someone who needs it. I’ll be here to answer questions for anyone you send my way.

July 1 is closer than it feels. Here’s what to do right now so you’re ready when the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge goes live.

Talk to your doctor.

If you think you might qualify, bring this up at your next appointment. Your doctor will need to submit a prior authorization request once the program opens. CMS releases the full prior authorization process in June, so they don’t need to do anything yet. But flagging it now means you’re not scrambling later.

Find your Medicare card.

The pharmacy will need your Medicare Number to process the claim. Know where your card is. If you’ve lost it, you can find your Medicare Number by logging into MyMedicare.gov or calling 1-800-MEDICARE.

Make sure you’re on an eligible plan.

Most standard Part D and Medicare Advantage plans qualify. If you’re not sure whether your specific plan is eligible, reach out to me directly. I can pull up your plan information and confirm in minutes.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. I’m Dee McFarland, your Medicare agent in Boardman, Ohio, and this is exactly what I do.

DM me the word BRIDGE and I’ll send you the full breakdown. 👇

I want to be upfront about who this program is not for, because this is where a lot of confusion is going to happen.

If you are already getting a GLP-1 medication covered through your Part D plan, you do not qualify for the GLP-1 Bridge. You’re already covered, and that’s actually a good thing.

This specifically includes people whose GLP-1 is being covered because of type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, or a liver condition called MASH.

If any of those apply to you, your Part D plan is already handling your coverage. The Bridge was built specifically for people who had no coverage path before because they were using these medications purely for weight management.

One more thing worth knowing. Not every Medicare plan type qualifies. Most standard Part D and Medicare Advantage plans do. But there are a handful of specific plan types that are not eligible unless you also carry a standalone Part D plan.

Not sure whether your specific plan qualifies? That is exactly the kind of thing we can help you figure out in about five minutes.

DM us and let’s take a look at your situation together. 👇

Already taking Wegovy, Zepbound, or Foundayo? This one is specifically for you.

One of the most common questions I’m getting is: I’m already on one of these medications. Can I still use the GLP-1 Bridge?

The answer is yes, as long as you’re a Medicare Part D beneficiary and you meet the eligibility criteria.

Here’s the part that matters most.

The clinical criteria are based on where you were when you started the medication, not where you are today. So if you started Wegovy in 2023 with a BMI of 38 and your BMI is now 31, your doctor would confirm that you met the criteria when you started therapy. You would still qualify.

This is genuinely good news for people who have been paying full price for these medications for a long time.

What you need to do right now is talk to your prescribing doctor and give them a heads up that this program is coming. They’ll need to submit a prior authorization request once the program opens July 1. CMS releases the full process in June, so nothing to do on their end just yet.

But the earlier you have that conversation, the smoother July 1 is going to go.
