Does Medicare Part D Cover Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is approved to help manage type 2 diabetes, not specifically for weight loss. A Medicare Part D plan may cover it for type 2 diabetes, depending on the plan’s formulary and coverage requirements. Medicare Part D generally excludes drugs when they are used for weight loss, although coverage may be available when a drug is used for another medically accepted indication. However, if your doctor prescribes Mounjaro specifically for type 2 diabetes management, some Part D plans may provide coverage. Coverage varies significantly between plans, with out-of-pocket costs potentially reaching $1,000+ monthly without insurance. Check your specific plan's formulary or contact your plan administrator to confirm coverage details.
