Obesity affects roughly 1 in 4 people on Medicare.*

Here's what's changing for coverage.

Starting July 1, 2026, a new Medicare program called the GLP-1 Bridge began offering temporary coverage for FDA-approved weight loss medications. It's open to people enrolled in Medicare Part D who meet the eligibility requirements, and the program only runs for a limited amount of time.

If you were told in the past that Medicare doesn't cover your weight loss medication, it's worth checking your eligibility again.
