The Medicare Bridge program gives beneficiaries access to Wegovi, Zetbound, and Foundeo for $50 monthly co-pays, but not everyone is eligible.
It's limited to patients with Medicare Part D coverage who have a body mass index of over 35 or who have a BMI of over 27 and other qualifying conditions.
Patients will also need their doctors to fill out prior authorization forms and get them approved before Medicare will cover the drugs.
Dr. Dasi Trenz is the president of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology.
The temporary test program will run through the end of 2027.

If your insurer won't cover Zetbound or Wegovy, there are steps you can take.
Read the fine print on your policy.
While many plans don't cover these drugs for obesity alone, they may cover them for obstructive sleep apnea or to reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes.
Check with your insurer to make sure your documentation for these conditions made it to the right place.
Be prepared to appeal.
