Foundayo under the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge
Published by GLP-1 Coverage Guide · Updated · No clinician review is credited for this page.
Short answer: CMS includes Foundayo tablets in the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge for eligible weight-management prescriptions, at $50 per authorized 28-day or 30-day fill. Ask the prescriber for current labeling and instructions before treatment.

Confirm coverage and clinical suitability separately
Coverage under CMS rules does not establish that a drug is appropriate for you. Bring the medication list and relevant history to the prescriber, ask about interactions and follow-up, and have the pharmacist explain administration. This page summarizes coverage rather than dosing or comparative efficacy.
Use the same pharmacy-first process
The prescriber sends the prescription; the pharmacy submits a Bridge claim; the prescriber completes the resulting PA request. Starting BMI and all other eligibility requirements still apply.

Common questions
Does the $50 copay guarantee treatment is appropriate?
No. Eligibility, authorization, pharmacy supply and clinical suitability are separate checks.
Can I change the dose or formulation myself?
Discuss changes with your prescriber and pharmacist. Follow the prescribed instructions and current form-specific labeling.
