Big news for Medicare Part D members 💊

Starting July 1, 2026, a new pilot program called the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge may make certain weight loss medications more affordable for eligible beneficiaries.

✨Here are the highlights:
🔷 Covered medications currently include Wegovy, Zepbound (KwikPen formulation), and Foundayo
🔷 Eligible members would pay a flat $50 monthly copay, compared to typical retail prices that can exceed $1,000
🔷 Eligibility is based on BMI plus related health conditions
🔷 Prior authorization from a doctor is required
🔷 The program runs through December 31, 2027

This is one of the most significant Medicare drug coverage changes in years and it may open the door to more affordable treatment options for eligible members.

Hey folks,

💥You may have seen or heard recently the buzz that Medicare is now covering CBD—and I’ve had a few people ask about it.

The truth is, it’s not quite that simple.

There is a very small pilot program that launched in April 2026, but it’s still in the early stages and only available in very limited situations through certain providers.

That means:
• Not all beneficiaries qualify
• Not all doctors or plans are participating
• And you can’t purchase CBD on your own and submit it for reimbursement

There are still quite a few unknowns, including how this program may expand (if at all), and who will ultimately have access moving forward.

Right now, this is considered a research-based pilot—NOT a standard Medicare benefit.

👉If this is something you’re curious about, your best next step is to talk with your doctor or healthcare provider.
They’ll be the ones who know whether this program is even available in your area.

And as always, if you’d like help understanding how your benefits work or what options are available to you, I’m here anytime.

Hey folks,

If you’re turning 65 this year, this is your gentle reminder—Medicare planning is something you’ll want to start a little earlier than you think.

Ideally, about 3–6 months before your 65th birthday.

That gives you time to slow down and really understand your options—without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

A good place to begin is with just a few key areas:

💥 When your enrollment window begins - Visit our T65 resource page for more information 👇https://www.beuttelinsure.com/new-to-medicare/turning-65
💥 How your current coverage works—especially if you’re still working or covered under a spouse
💥 What to expect when it comes to healthcare costs, including premiums and prescriptions

You don’t need to have all the answers right away—but having a plan in place can make this transition feel a lot more manageable.

Starting early can help you avoid 💥late enrollment penalties💥 and unnecessary stress down the road.
If you’re not sure where to begin, now is a great time to reach out—we’re here to help you get started smoothly and with confidence.

🇺🇸 Hey there folks, ...

With Memorial Day just around the corner, we know what that means… bring on the summer BBQs! ☀️

This is one of my favorite go-to salads, and it’s especially good this time of year—even better if you have some fresh strawberries to toss in.

It’s simple, fresh, and always a hit whether you’re hosting, heading to a gathering, or just enjoying a quiet weekend at home.
🥗 INGREDIENTS:
• Baby spinach
• Fresh strawberries (sliced)
• Crumbled feta
• Candied pecans or walnuts
• Thin sliced red onion (optional)
• Grilled chicken (optional)

💥DRESSING:
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• Pinch of salt & pepper

Whisk together and drizzle over the top—easy as that. 🤌
I always love hearing what you’re making this time of year, too so please share you summer faves in the comments!

Happy Friday friends 😎

Understanding your benefits can make it easier to actually use them when you need them most.

That’s why I make it a priority to ensure my clients not only understand their coverage, but feel confident using it—especially when it comes to important areas like mental health.

Medicare includes coverage for a variety of mental health services—from counseling and therapy to annual depression screenings. Some plans also offer telehealth options, giving you flexible ways to connect with care.

If you’ve ever wondered what your plan includes or how to access these services, I’m here to help walk you through it.
