💉 Thinking about a GLP-1 medication? Access to these drugs through Medicare is changing.

The cost of GLP-1 drugs has kept them out of reach for many Americans, but new programs will make these medications more affordable for some Medicare beneficiaries.

Here are a few important updates:

✅ Some eligible Medicare beneficiaries who meet specific medical criteria may qualify for the new GLP-1 Bridge program, with certain medications available for $50 per month through 2027.
✅ Most Medicare Advantage plans cover at least one GLP-1 medication for diabetes, but coverage for weight loss remains much more limited.
✅ If you don't have insurance, some GLP-1 medications may be available through TrumpRx.gov for as low as $199 per month, depending on the medication and dosage.

Our latest survey found that 73% of Medicare beneficiaries aren't familiar with the new GLP-1 Bridge program, even though it could help eligible beneficiaries save on prescription costs.

If you or a loved one is considering a GLP-1 medication, now is a good time to review your Medicare health plan coverage, talk with your doctor, and understand which programs you may qualify for.

This Father’s Day, we’re encouraging dads everywhere to prioritize their health.

At eHealth, we recently surveyed men across the country, and the findings were both meaningful…and concerning:

👉 67% of men say what they want most for Father’s Day is quality time with family and loved ones
👉 60% report putting off medical care unless someone pushes them to go
👉 42% have skipped recommended medical care in the past year

Dads show up every day for the people who matter most—but too often, their own health takes a back seat. This Father’s Day, we encourage them to prioritize preventive care, schedule that checkup, and take the next step toward better health.

And for those who love a dad, a supportive nudge can make all the difference.

Because being there for your family starts with taking care of yourself.
