GLP1 Access for Only a $50 Copay?

Medicare is starting a program called the GLP1 Bridge program.

The basics of the program are:

1) This is available to Medicare recipients but is a special program not associated with your drug plan.

2) Begins 7/1 and runs through 12/31/27, with no details at this time as to what will occur after the scheduled end date.

3) $50 copayment is for all four levels of dosages (some other programs only cover the starting dosage then the copayments sky rocket).

4) Covers several injectables and the new Wegovy pill

The details of the program were only released three days ago so when I went to my PCP yesterday he had only heard some rumors about it. Me being me I had the link read to give him. I’m beginning July 1.

If you are like me and have struggled with your weight despite eating a fairly healthy diet, and exercising regularly (last year I either worked out or performed heavy yard work 70% of the days of the year, including stationary biking 1,300 miles and 99 sessions of weight lifting) and still have problems managing your weight you might want to investigate this program.
