Description

The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program will cover Foundayo tablets, Wegovy injections and tablets and Zepbound KwikPen for weight loss, with a $50 monthly copay that won't count toward Part D deductibles or out-of-pocket spending limits.

Thousands of older Oregonians could soon pay just $50 a month for popular weight loss drugs that have previously been out of reach because of their price.
