Q&A with Jose Ossorio
Will Medicare cover Zepbound and other weight loss drugs in 2026?
Answer: Yes, in a limited way. Traditional Medicare law still excludes weight-loss drugs, but a temporary program changed that this year.
Starting July 1, 2026, Medicare covers certain GLP-1 drugs under the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program. The covered drugs are Foundayo tablets, Wegovy as an injection or tablet, and Zepbound in the KwikPen only. The single-dose Zepbound pen and the vials are not covered.
Your cost is $50 per month, no matter your income level. You need to be in a Part D plan, and your prescriber has to get prior authorization and you must meet the eligibility criteria set by CMS.
What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: A Medicare agent can help you sort through the plan options in your specific area so you don't have to compare every single benefit booklet yourself. Just make sure they're independent and that they offer multiple companies, not just one.
My Medicare Advantage plan advertised dental coverage, but it barely covers anything. Is this normal?
Answer: Medicare Advantage dental benefits can look generous in the headline, but often have tight annual maximums. Sometimes only 1 or 2 thousand dollars, they might also restrict which dentists you can see, or cover only basic services. Things like exams and cleanings more fully, while crowns, root canals, or dentures get limited coverage or waiting periods. The ads can feel a little misleading, because they spotlight coverage, not the limits. If you’re running into that, it doesn’t mean you misunderstood. It really is how many of those plans are structured.
