Effective July 1, 2026, Medicare moved to the Bridge Program for GLP-1 medications. Under the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program, Medicare Part D beneficiaries have access to certain anti-obesity GLP-1 drugs with a $50 copay for a 30-day supply. However, as a member of The Empire Plan with GLP-1 coverage available, you are not eligible for the Bridge program. You may continue to fill your anti-obesity GLP-1s, with Prior Authorization, through your Empire Plan Medicare Rx coverage. In most cases, these medications have a $30 copay for a 30-day supply. Check the Empire Plan Medicare Rx Formulary for details. For additional questions about coverage for GLP-1 medications, call The Empire Plan Prescription Drug Program at 1-877-769-7447 and press or say 4.
