Medicare Pilot Program Offers GLP-1 Discounts, Excludes Certain Patients
09/25/2026 · New Hampshire edition
Medicare has introduced a pilot program aimed at streamlining access to GLP-1 medications. Under this initiative, some seniors pay $50 per month for these drugs. However, the program's structure means that many individuals with severe illnesses do not qualify for this reduced rate.
Jeff La Marca, for example, received a prescription for the weight-loss drug Zepbound in January. He faced a monthly cost of $750 for the medication.
