Medicare GLP-1 Coverage Details
Coverage Overview
Medicare coverage for GLP-1 medications has been evolving rapidly. Medicare Part D covers GLP-1 medications prescribed for type 2 diabetes (Ozempic, Mounjaro). The landmark expansion of Medicare to cover anti-obesity medications has been a major development in 2025-2026, with Wegovy and Zepbound becoming available under certain Part D plans.
Medication Coverage
| Medication | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ozempic (semaglutide) | Covered | Covered for type 2 diabetes under Medicare Part D. Subject to plan-specific formulary placement and cost-sharing. Not covered for off-label weight loss. |
| Wegovy (semaglutide) | Varies | FDA-approved for weight management. Medicare coverage expanding through legislative and CMS policy changes. Check your specific Part D plan for current status. |
| Mounjaro (tirzepatide) | Covered | Covered for type 2 diabetes. Strong formulary position across most Part D plans. |
| Zepbound (tirzepatide) | Varies | FDA-approved for weight management. Coverage under Medicare is expanding. Check your specific Part D plan. |
Cost Estimates
Savings tip: The Inflation Reduction Act capped out-of-pocket Part D costs at $2,000/year starting in 2025. This significantly reduces the annual cost burden for expensive GLP-1 medications. Extra Help (Low Income Subsidy) can further reduce costs.
