Pilot Program for Medicare Prescription Coverage of GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs

From July 1, 2026, to December 31, 2027, Medicare will operate a short-term pilot program called the “Medicare GLP-1 Bridge” or BALANCE Model. Under this program, Medicare will cover GLP-1’s prescribed for weight loss for people who meet certain prior authorization criteria (high body mass index and/or specific weight-related health conditions) and are enrolled in a standalone prescription drug plan (PDP) or Medicare Advantage plan with prescription coverage (MA-PD).

Unlike standard prescription benefits, this temporary program bypasses traditional Part D/MA-PD plans through a centralized authorization system. A beneficiary’s doctor will submit a prior authorization and prescription for an eligible GLP-1 for weight loss to a central system run by Humana (for those interested, this is the same infrastructure used for LI NET). Humana will review the submission, and if approved, the patient will then pay a set $50 copay at the pharmacy when they pick up their prescription. This $50 copay does not change even if dosages increase or decrease. Per CMS guidance from May 1, 2026 , covered prescriptions will include Foundayo, Wegovy (injections and tablets) and Zepbound (KwikPen only- single-dose vial and single-dose pen formulations of Zepbound are not available).

While the program makes weight loss prescriptions much more affordable, any payments for these prescriptions will not count toward the $2,100 out of pocket annual prescription cap. Additionally, there is no price break for people receiving LIS (also called Extra Help) - they must also pay the $50 monthly copay. Finally, anyone taking a GLP-1 for a condition not related to weight loss (such as Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, etc.) would continue to receive the prescription through their Part D plan/process- and pay the prices set by their plan.
