As you may be aware, effective January 1, 2026, BCBSMA will no longer cover GLP-1 medications when prescribed for weight loss. Coverage for diabetes-related use will remain in place.
We are working with BCBSMA to explore a possible solution that would allow individual banks to optionally add GLP-1 weight loss coverage at an estimated additional cost of 6%-10% above the 2026 renewal (note: final renewal rates are still pending).
To help inform these discussions, we're asking for your input. Please take a moment to complete this brief survey to let us know whether your bank would be interested in offering this coverage if it becomes available.
Take the Survey.
Your response is non-binding but will help us determine if there is sufficient interest to pursue this option further with BCBSMA.
