🚨 Medicare Safety Tip 🚨

Be careful who you talk to online and over the phone.

Unless it is someone you know and trust, such as your healthcare provider, Medicare, or a trusted insurance professional, never give out your Medicare number, Social Security number, banking information, or other personal details.

Scammers often pretend to be from Medicare and may offer free benefits, gift cards, or other incentives to get your information.

Remember: Medicare will not call you out of the blue asking for your Medicare number.

When you know better, you do better.

A few things happening in the community this weekend.

🚨 Medicare Update: Lower-Cost Weight Loss Medications Are Coming! 🚨

Starting July 1, 2026, eligible Medicare beneficiaries may be able to access certain GLP-1 medications for just $50 per month through a new CMS program called the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge.

These medications are commonly used to help with weight management and have previously been out of reach for many people due to their high cost.

A few important things to know: ✔ You must have Medicare Part D coverage
✔ You must meet eligibility requirements
✔ Prior authorization will be required
✔ The program is currently scheduled to run through December 31, 2027

This is a major change that could help many Medicare beneficiaries gain access to treatment that was previously unaffordable.

As a Passionate Educator, I will continue sharing updates as more information becomes available.

When you know better, you do better.
