BIG NEWS FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES!
Starting July 1, 2026, eligible Medicare beneficiaries may be able to access certain GLP-1 weight loss medications for just $50 per month through Medicare’s new GLP-1 Bridge Program. This temporary program is scheduled to run through December 31, 2027.
Who may qualify?
✅ Enrolled in Medicare Part D or a Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage
✅ Meet specific clinical criteria established by Medicare
✅ Receive approval through the program’s prior authorization process
Covered medications may include:
• Wegovy®
• Zepbound®
• Certain other approved GLP-1 medications
Keep in mind that not everyone will qualify, and your doctor will need to determine whether these medications are appropriate for your situation. Medicare has specific eligibility requirements that must be met.
If you’ve been putting off exploring weight loss medication because of the cost, July 1 may open new doors for many Medicare beneficiaries.
