How Humana May Cover Weight Loss Treatment in Mississippi

Humana serves Mississippi residents through Medicare Advantage (MA) plans following its commercial market exit in 2024. Medicare Advantage plan types in Mississippi may include Gold Plus HMO, HumanaChoice PPO, R/H PPO, and Honor HMO-POS options. Coverage for weight loss medications under Medicare Advantage differs from commercial insurance — traditional Medicare Part D has historically excluded medications approved solely for weight loss, but this landscape is evolving significantly.

Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program (effective July 1, 2026): As of July 1, 2026, eligible Humana Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) members may access Wegovy (semaglutide), Zepbound (tirzepatide), and Foundayo (an oral semaglutide formulation) at a cost of $50 per month through CMS’s Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program. This benefit is processed through CMS directly and is separate from Humana Pharmacy Solutions (HPS) Part D formulary coverage. Eligibility criteria include a qualifying BMI and associated comorbidities — members should contact Humana or 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) for current eligibility requirements and enrollment information.

Part D GLP-1 coverage through Humana Pharmacy Solutions: Outside of the CMS GLP-1 Bridge program, traditional Part D coverage of GLP-1 medications for weight loss (as opposed to type 2 diabetes management) remains subject to CMS guidance and individual plan formulary decisions. Contact Humana Pharmacy Solutions directly to confirm whether your specific Humana MAPD plan’s Part D benefit covers GLP-1 medications for weight management beyond the CMS Bridge program.

Non-GLP-1 weight loss medications: Phentermine (Schedule IV, non-EPCS) and phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia, Schedule IV) may be covered under the Part D benefit on select Humana plans, depending on formulary terms. Orlistat coverage varies by plan.

Prior authorization: Prior authorization is typically required for GLP-1 obesity medications. Your Klarity provider can assist with prior authorization documentation. Approval is not guaranteed and depends on your plan’s eligibility criteria.

Medicaid note: Humana administers Medicaid managed care plans in some states. If you are enrolled in a Humana Medicaid plan in Mississippi, weight loss benefit terms differ from Medicare Advantage — contact Humana Medicaid member services for your specific plan’s coverage.
