What to do

1. Confirm you have Part D drug coverage (stand-alone Part D, or Medicare Advantage with drugs).
2. Ask your plan whether it's participating in the GLP-1 Bridge demonstration and which drugs it covers.
3. See your clinician to confirm you meet the clinical criteria and get the prescription routed correctly.
4. If your plan says no or you're unsure, check the official CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge page.
