Coverage Overview
Medicaid coverage for GLP-1 medications varies significantly by state, as each state administers its own Medicaid program. Most state Medicaid programs cover Ozempic and Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes. Coverage for weight management medications (Wegovy, Zepbound) is less consistent but expanding, with several states adding coverage in 2025-2026.
