Pennsylvania considers restricting access to costly GLP-1 weight-loss drugs due to soaring Medicaid costs.
The rising cost of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic is putting pressure on state Medicaid programs.
Pennsylvania's Medicaid coverage is projected to cost $1.3 billion in 2025, leading policymakers to consider restricting access to these drugs, possibly requiring patients to try diet and exercise or less expensive medications first.
Despite the high costs, about half of Americans support Medicare and Medicaid covering these drugs for obesity treatment, though Medicare does not currently cover them.
