How Humana May Cover Weight Loss Treatment in Nebraska

Important: Humana Nebraska — Medicare Advantage Plans Only. Humana exited the commercial insurance market in 2024. In Nebraska, Humana currently offers Medicare Advantage (MA) plans only. Humana MA members are covered under CMS 42 CFR Part 422. Weight loss medication coverage for MA members is governed by federal CMS rules. The ACA’s EHB requirements govern commercial plan weight loss coverage and do not apply to Medicare Advantage plans.

Note: If you have Medicaid, you are not enrolled in a Humana Medicare Advantage plan. Verify your plan type before proceeding.

Medicare GLP-1 Bridge — Effective July 1, 2026: Beginning July 1, 2026, CMS launched the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program, which provides eligible Medicare Advantage and Part D (MAPD) members access to Wegovy (semaglutide), Zepbound (tirzepatide), and Foundayo at $50/month via CMS — outside of the standard HPS Part D formulary. This program is available to eligible Humana MAPD members in Nebraska and represents a significant access expansion for weight loss treatment. Contact Humana or CMS to determine whether you qualify for this benefit.

Humana uses Humana Pharmacy Solutions (HPS) as its pharmacy benefit manager for standard Part D prescription drug coverage.

Weight Loss Medications (HPS Part D Formulary — Standard Coverage):

• Wegovy (semaglutide) / Zepbound (tirzepatide) / Foundayo: Traditionally, Medicare Part D did not cover weight loss drugs. The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge (effective July 1, 2026) now provides $50/month access for eligible MAPD members outside the standard Part D formulary. Verify your eligibility with Humana or CMS.
• Contrave (naltrexone/bupropion): Coverage under Medicare Part D may be limited; verify with HPS.
• Orlistat: Coverage under Medicare Part D may vary; verify with HPS.
• Phentermine / Qsymia: Schedule IV medications; Medicare Part D coverage for these drugs is generally limited. EPCS requirements do not apply to Schedule IV substances.

Prior Authorization: GLP-1 medications under both the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge and standard Part D coverage may require prior authorization. Contact Humana or CMS to confirm eligibility and PA requirements before starting treatment.

Cost Sharing: Out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific Humana MA plan and your eligibility for the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program. Contact Humana or CMS for your specific cost-sharing details.
