How Humana May Cover Weight Loss Treatment in New Mexico

Humana Medicare Advantage plans in New Mexico are governed by federal CMS regulations under 42 CFR Part 422. Weight loss medication coverage under Medicare has historically been limited, but a significant new development applies as of July 1, 2026.

Medicare GLP-1 Bridge (effective July 1, 2026): CMS launched a Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program on July 1, 2026, making Wegovy (semaglutide), Zepbound (tirzepatide), and Foundayo available to eligible Medicare Advantage and Part D members at $50 per month. This benefit is administered directly through CMS and applies outside of the standard HPS Part D formulary. Eligibility criteria apply — members must meet qualifying medical criteria. Contact Humana at 1-800-448-6262 or CMS at 1-800-633-4227 to determine if you may qualify for this benefit.

Humana Pharmacy Solutions (HPS) Formulary — Standard Part D: Outside of the CMS GLP-1 Bridge, HPS Part D formularies have historically had limited coverage for GLP-1 obesity medications. Coverage structures are subject to change; always verify your current plan's formulary with HPS at 1-877-693-5236.

Other Weight Loss Medications:

• Contrave: Coverage varies by plan; PA may be required
• Orlistat (generic): May be covered at lower tiers on some plans
• Phentermine: Schedule IV; quantity limits apply
• Qsymia: Schedule IV; prior authorization and REMS typically required

Deductible and Copay Context: Cost-sharing varies by MA plan design. Contact Humana at 1-800-448-6262 to confirm your specific benefits.
