Have you heard about the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge?
Clients seeking GLP-1 medications for weight loss may be eligible if they meet the program's criteria, which may include requirements related to age, BMI, prescribed use for weight loss in combination with lifestyle modifications, and other qualifying conditions.
To determine eligibility, you should work with your healthcare provider to submit a Medicare GLP-1 Bridge prior authorization request to CMS.
For eligible participants, pharmacies will collect the $50 copay and submit the claim to the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge processor.
This is a trial program, and eligibility requirements must be met.
