Medicare GLP-1 Coverage Details
Coverage Overview
Starting July 1, 2026, Medicare is covering Wegovy and Zepbound for weight loss for the first time, through a program called the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge. The copay is $50 per month, flat, for eligible Part D enrollees. This runs through December 31, 2027. Ozempic and Mounjaro remain covered under standard Part D for type 2 diabetes, as they have been.
Medication Coverage
| Medication | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ozempic (semaglutide) | Covered | Covered for type 2 diabetes under Medicare Part D. Not covered for weight loss under the bridge program. If you want semaglutide for weight loss, ask for Wegovy. |
| Wegovy (semaglutide) | Covered | Covered for weight loss starting July 1, 2026 via the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge at a flat $50/month copay. Requires prior authorization and BMI eligibility. Copay does not count toward your Part D deductible or annual out-of-pocket cap. |
| Mounjaro (tirzepatide) | Covered | Covered for type 2 diabetes under standard Part D. Not covered for weight loss under the bridge program. For weight-management tirzepatide coverage, ask for Zepbound. |
| Zepbound (tirzepatide) | Covered | Covered for weight loss starting July 1, 2026 via the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge (KwikPen formulation) at a flat $50/month copay. Same eligibility rules and copay structure as Wegovy under the bridge. |
Cost Estimates
Savings tip: The GLP-1 Bridge $50 copay does not count toward your Part D deductible or the $2,100 annual out-of-pocket cap, and it is not reduced by the Extra Help (Low Income Subsidy). For diabetes GLP-1s (Ozempic, Mounjaro) on standard Part D, the $2,100 annual cap does apply. Manufacturer savings cards cannot be used with any Medicare coverage.
