☆ Medicare can now cover certain weight loss drugs in a big step for patients
  + stars: | 2024-03-21 | by ( Annika Kim Constantino | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Medicare can start covering certain weight loss drugs for the first time — as long as they are approved for an added health benefit, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said Thursday. Medicare prescription drug plans administered by private insurers, known as Part D, currently cannot cover those drugs for weight loss alone. A provision of a 2003 law established that Medicare Part D plans can't cover drugs used for weight loss, but the program does cover obesity screening, behavioral counseling and bariatric surgery. A CMS spokesperson told CNBC last week that Medicaid programs would be required to cover Wegovy specifically for its new cardiovascular use. Around 1 in 5 state Medicaid programs currently cover GLP-1 drugs for weight loss.

☆ Weight loss drug Wegovy is now approved for heart health — but that won't mean broad insurance coverage just yet

The blockbuster drug — one of a handful of weight loss treatments to skyrocket in popularity over the last year — is now approved in the U.S. for heart health, too. The spokesperson added that state Medicaid programs would be required to cover Wegovy for its new cardiovascular use. But Gremminger said the standard of care for the long-term use of weight loss drugs is "in flux." State employees will no longer have insurance coverage for GLP-1s when used for weight loss at the beginning of next month. Both drugmakers have launched programs to help patients, with or without commercial insurance coverage, afford their weight loss treatments.

Fg Trade | E+ | Getty ImagesYour employer may have its own policyAround nine out of 10 U.S. companies offer bereavement leave, according to the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans. Adam Lister | Moment | Getty ImagesThe leave companies provide tend to vary based on who in your life has died. The average for an immediate family member was around five days, compared to roughly one day for a close friend, IFEBP found. Some states offer bereavement leaveIn the absence of a federal bereavement leave policy, some states have established their own program or are trying to do so. A California law guarantees most employees five days of bereavement leave following the death of a family member.
