Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Enrollment Guide 2026: $50 Copay for Foundayo, Wegovy & Zepbound

Verified April 27, 2026: The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge runs July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027 and covers four drugs at a $50/month flat copay — Foundayo (orforglipron), Wegovy injection, Wegovy oral tablet, and Zepbound KwikPen. The $50 does NOT count toward the Part D deductible or the $2,100 out-of-pocket cap. Prior auth routes to a CMS central processor, not your Part D plan. Complete enrollment guide.
