Frustrating barriers in the past
For years, many seniors interested in GLP-1 medications faced frustrating barriers:
- Medicare often did not cover weight-loss GLP-1 medications
- Primary care appointments could take months
- Specialists had long waitlists
- Many patients were forced to stop treatment after losing coverage
- Medication shortages made access inconsistent
Help still needed today
But many seniors still need help navigating:
- eligibility requirements
- prior authorization workflows
- prescription submission
- pharmacy coordination
Now, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program is changing that.
How it works
Simple Online Access to GLP-1 Prescribing Support
Connect With a Licensed Provider
A licensed medical provider reviews your health history and determines whether GLP-1 treatment may be appropriate.
Prescription Submission Support
If medically appropriate, your provider submits your prescription into the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program workflow for approval processing.
Pick Up Medication Locally
Once approved, your prescription is sent to your preferred local pharmacy for pickup.
Designed for Seniors Who Need Faster Access
