Before the Bridge program, Medicare did not cover drugs prescribed only for weight loss, and most people paid about $350 a month out of pocket. The Bridge changes that for people who meet the criteria: a $50 monthly copay at any dose.
To qualify you need Medicare Part D and one of three profiles — a BMI of 35 or higher; a BMI of 30 or higher with chronic kidney disease (stage 3a+), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or uncontrolled blood pressure on two or more medications; or a BMI of 27 or higher with prediabetes, a past heart attack or stroke, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease.
