Medicare’s New GLP-1 Weight Loss Program Is Complicated but Worth It

Does Medicare pay for GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic for weight loss? For years, the answer has been a hard no. But a new “Bridge” program upgrades the answer to something more like “yes, but …”

For the first time, starting July 1, Medicare will offer access to GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy, which has the same active ingredient as Ozempic but is FDA-approved for weight loss. Until now, Medicare has covered GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic only for certain conditions. You could get it for diabetes, for example, but not for weight loss.
