Summary · why it matters

CVS Health announced a comprehensive GLP-1 support program across its more than 9,000 CVS Pharmacy locations and MinuteClinic virtual care. Starting July 1, 2026, eligible Medicare beneficiaries can access certain GLP-1 medications for $50 per month through the CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program, which runs through December 31, 2027. MinuteClinic launched a new $49 virtual visit for weight management, connecting eligible adults with licensed clinicians who can evaluate and prescribe GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate. CVS Pharmacy also offers one-on-one pharmacist guidance and over-the-counter products to help manage common side effects, and accepts discount cards and manufacturer coupons that can lower out-of-pocket costs to as low as $25 a month for commercially insured patients or $149 for uninsured patients using a manufacturer voucher.
