CMS delays Part D GLP-1 model amid skepticism from insurers

fiercehealthcare - The Trump administration is delaying a voluntary model that aimed to expand access to GLP-1s in Part D after pushback from insurers.

AI Summary: Federal regulators have paused a Medicare Part D pilot to expand coverage for GLP‑1 weight‑loss drugs amid payer skepticism and implementation concerns. The delay reflects worries about cost, program design and insurer buy‑in, forcing policymakers to revisit the model while patients and providers wait for clarity on whether Medicare will shoulder these high‑price therapies.
