So which medications are actually covered under the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge?
There are three, and the specific formulation matters, so write these down.
Wegovy, both the injectable and the oral tablet form.
Zepbound, but only the KwikPen formulation. The single-dose vial and single-dose pen are not included.
Foundayo, all formulations.
All three are FDA-approved weight management medications.
All three are available at the $50 copay for eligible beneficiaries starting July 1.
One thing that surprises a lot of people: this program runs completely separate from your regular Part D coverage. That means the $50 does not count toward your deductible or your out-of-pocket maximum for the year. It’s its own thing entirely.
The list of covered medications could also be updated as the program runs. CMS already added Foundayo after the original announcement, so it’s worth staying tuned.
More details coming on exactly who qualifies and how it works at the pharmacy.
DM me the word BRIDGE and I’ll send you a full breakdown guide.👇
Have you heard of any of these medications before?
Listen. 👀
For years, one of the most common things I’ve heard from Medicare clients is this: why won’t Medicare cover my weight loss medication?
And for years, the answer was frustrating. Medicare generally didn’t cover GLP-1 drugs just for weight management. Diabetes, heart disease, maybe. But strictly for weight loss? Usually no.
That’s changing.
Starting July 1, 2026, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge goes live nationwide. Eligible Part D beneficiaries can get Wegovy, Zepbound, or Foundayo for $50 a month through December 2027.
This is a confirmed CMS demonstration program. Not a rumor. Not a maybe. It’s happening.
And most people on Medicare have no idea it exists yet.
Comment BRIDGE below and I’ll send you the full details. 👇
How long have you been hearing that Medicare doesn’t cover weight loss medications?
That’s why I’m here. Over the next few weeks I’m breaking down everything, who qualifies, how it works, and what to do before July 1.

Funeral costs are just the beginning. Here's what families are actually dealing with in the weeks after someone passes.

If you have Medicare and you’ve been told weight loss medications aren’t covered, I need you to read this.
Starting July 1, 2026, CMS is launching something called the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge. And it is a big deal.
Here’s the short version.
Eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries can now access FDA-approved weight loss medications, including Wegovy and Zepbound, for $50 a month. Not $500. Not $1,200. Fifty dollars.
This is a temporary demonstration program running through December 31, 2027. It’s not permanent, but it’s real, it’s confirmed, and it’s coming fast.
Over the next few weeks I’m going to break down exactly who qualifies, how it works at the pharmacy, and what you need to do before July 1.

DM me the word BRIDGE and I’ll make sure you get everything as it comes out. 👇
Did you know Medicare was doing this?!
Most people think final expense insurance only covers funeral costs. The truth is much more practical.

Is there a photo from a summer memory that you keep coming back to?
Maybe it's everyone around the table. Maybe it's the kids doing something ridiculous in the background. Maybe it's your dad at the grill doing exactly what he always does and you caught it without him noticing.
Everyone in the same place at the same time. Which happens less and less the older everyone gets.
You look at that photo and you just feel it. The noise and the food and the way the evening stretched on longer than anyone planned because nobody wanted it to end.
I'll never forget this moment with my dad and 2 of his grandsons showing them his famous fried shrimp recipe. ❤️ One of these boys is now a chef.
The people in that photo are the whole reason.
Drop your favorite summer photo in the comments!

I walked in for toothpaste. I left with a throw pillow, two candles, and a $40 snack board. We don't talk about Target. But we DO talk about making sure you're not overpaying for life insurance. Comment TARGET and let's take a look. 🎯
