Last week, we held a webinar with experts from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to answer questions from independent pharmacies on the GLP-1 Bridge program, which is meant to expand access to GLP-1 medications for Medicare Part D beneficiaries. Now, you can watch the session on demand. If you’re interested in giving a boost to your Medicare Part D benefits, this webinar can help you get up to speed on the Bridge program so you’re prepared for the July 1 launch. In the webinar, CMS staff explain how the program will work, what to expect, and how prescriptions will be processed.
You can watch the webinar here.
Under the GLP-1 Bridge program, CMS will expand access to certain GLP-1 medications to eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries who do not currently have access to these medications through the Part D benefit under a short-term demonstration. For more information, including key details about the prior authorization and pharmacy claims processes, check out these materials issued from CMS:
- Prescriber Fact Sheet — Key information for prescribers referring patients to the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge
- Pharmacy Fact Sheet — Guidance for pharmacies on billing and dispensing under the demonstration
- Prior Authorization Form — Outline of clinical criteria for Medicare GLP-1 Bridge eligibility
CMS has stated that more materials will be made available in the coming weeks.
