Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program
Hy-Vee’s GLP-1 wellness program follows the recent launch of Medicare’s new GLP-1 Bridge program, which is in effect nationwide from July 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2027.
The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program is specifically designed for Medicare patients who are prescribed GLP-1 treatment solely for weight loss or weight management, providing eligible patients access to certain GLP-1 medications for $50 per month at pharmacies across the nation, including Hy-Vee’s more than 270 pharmacies.
Those who are prescribed a GLP-1 to treat other conditions such as diabetes or sleep apnea, do not qualify for the special pricing under the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program.
Individuals should consult with their provider or pharmacist to determine eligibility. For further assistance, they can contact 1-800-MEDICARE.
