How Humana May Cover Weight Loss Treatment in Kansas

Important note: Humana exited the commercial (employer and individual) insurance market in 2024. In Kansas, Humana currently offers Medicare Advantage (MA) plans. If you have a Humana Medicare Advantage plan, your benefits are governed by CMS regulations under 42 CFR Part 422. State mental health parity law (K.S.A. 40-2,105 et seq.) applies primarily to state-regulated commercial plans — Medicare Advantage members should refer to their CMS-approved plan documents for applicable protections.

Medicaid disclaimer: If you have or believe you may qualify for Medicaid (KanCare in Kansas), your coverage rules differ from Medicare Advantage. Please contact your KanCare managed care organization for benefit information.

Medicare GLP-1 Bridge (effective July 1, 2026): CMS launched a Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program effective July 1, 2026. Eligible Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) members may receive Wegovy (semaglutide), Zepbound (tirzepatide), or Foundayo at a $50/month cost-share through this CMS program, processed separately from the standard Humana Pharmacy Solutions (HPS) Part D formulary. If you are a Humana MAPD member, ask your provider or contact CMS at 1-800-633-4227 to confirm your eligibility for this program.

Humana Medicare Advantage plans available in Kansas may include Gold Plus HMO, HumanaChoice PPO, R/H PPO, and Honor HMO-POS options. Weight loss coverage considerations include:

• GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) have historically been excluded from standard Medicare Part D formularies, as Medicare Part D traditionally did not cover weight loss drugs. However, the CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge (July 1, 2026) may provide a pathway for eligible MAPD members to access these medications at $50/month. Coverage through the standard HPS Part D formulary may vary — verify your specific plan.
• Non-scheduled weight loss medications such as GLP-1s, Contrave (naltrexone/bupropion), orlistat, and phentermine/Qsymia (Schedule IV — not Schedule II) do not require EPCS under applicable law.
• Deductibles, copays, and maximum out-of-pocket amounts vary by plan. Review your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for specific cost-sharing details.
