New Program Alert

Understanding New Medicare GLP-1 Options

Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program: Starting July 1, 2026

What This New Program Is

Medicare has introduced a temporary program called the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, which begins July 1, 2026.

  • Provides access to certain weight-loss medications.
  • Operates outside of your standard Part D drug plan.
  • Offers a flat monthly cost of approximately $50 if approved.
  • View Official CMS Program Details

Who May Qualify

Approval is based on medical necessity. You may be eligible if you have Medicare with drug coverage, your doctor prescribes a GLP-1, and you meet specific health criteria.

Part D Eligible Diagnoses (Requires submission to standard Part D plan first):

  • Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
  • Noncirrhotic metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with moderate to advanced liver scarring
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • History of major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events with established CV disease

For weight reduction only (No Part D diagnosis):

Submit through GLP-1 Bridge for Foundayo®, Wegovy® (injections & tablets), or Zepbound® (Kwikpen®).

How the Approval Process Works

This program has a different process than your normal Part D prescription coverage:

  1. Your doctor evaluates whether the medication is clinically appropriate.
  2. Your doctor submits a prior authorization request.
  3. The request is reviewed through a central Medicare system (not your standard insurance plan).
  4. If approved, you can pick up the medication at the pharmacy and pay about $50/month.

Important Things to Know

  • Not everyone will qualify — approval strictly depends on your medical profile.
  • This is a temporary program (currently scheduled through 2027).
  • The $50 cost does not count toward your Part D deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
  • It does not replace your existing essential drug coverage.

Information for Prescribers

For complete clinical criteria, patient eligibility conditions, and electronic prior authorization (ePA) instructions, your provider must consult the official CMS guidelines.
