On this page, I will continually update it with the latest updates on the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program and my book as I learn about them. You can find my book The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Guide: How to Qualify, Get Approved, and Successfully Use $50/Month Wegovy, Zepbound & Foundayo
The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program was created as a short-term demonstration by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to give eligible Medicare beneficiaries temporary access to certain GLP-1 weight-loss medications at a fixed $50 monthly cost. For years, Medicare was generally prohibited from covering drugs used primarily for weight loss. Growing rates of obesity and related health conditions among older adults created pressure for a limited program that could test broader access. The Bridge program officially began on July 1, 2026, and is currently scheduled to run through December 31, 2027.
