Medicare GLP-1 Bridge
Does Medicare cover Ozempic or Mounjaro for weight loss?
No — Ozempic and Mounjaro are not covered by the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program. Those drugs are approved for type 2 diabetes, not weight loss. The Bridge covers Wegovy, the Zepbound KwikPen, and Foundayo.

Ozempic and Mounjaro share active ingredients with Wegovy and Zepbound, but they are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes rather than chronic weight management, so they fall outside the weight-loss Bridge.
If you have type 2 diabetes, Medicare may already cover a GLP-1 like Ozempic or Mounjaro through your regular Part D plan. Ask your doctor whether you qualify that way before looking at the Bridge.
