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

Updated June 11, 2026: CMS released the official prior authorization request form (cms.gov/glp-1-bridge.pdf, June 8) revealing a key eligibility nuance — beneficiaries with OSA, MASH, T2D, or established CVD are NOT eligible for the Bridge (they route through regular Part D instead). The Bridge is for weight-management-only patients. Four drugs covered at a $50/month flat copay: Foundayo, Wegovy injection, Wegovy oral tablet, and Zepbound KwikPen. Prior auth via Humana/LI NET; requests not processed before July 1. Complete enrollment guide.
