Question 1 of 3
Medicare in New York
3,912,348 people in New York were enrolled in Medicare, according to KFF's state health facts table, which is compiled from CMS enrollment counts for 2024.
New York expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Medicaid is a separate program from Medicare, with its own eligibility rules and its own list of covered drugs.
Medicare's rules for GLP-1 medicines are set nationally, so they are the same in New York as everywhere else. What changes from state to state is which drug plans are sold where you live, which pharmacies are in their networks, and which prescribers are near you.
Free Medicare counseling in New York
Health Insurance Information, Counseling and Assistance Program (HIICAP) is New York's State Health Insurance Assistance Program. Counselors are free, they are not paid by any plan, and they will read your drug plan's drug list with you.
Call 1-800-701-0501. The program's own site is https://aging.ny.gov/health-insurance-information-counseling-and-assistance.
These contact details were checked against New York's SHIP page, https://www.shiphelp.org/ships/new-york/, in 2026-08.

Questions about Medicare GLP-1 coverage in New York
Does Medicare cover GLP-1 medicines in New York?
Medicare's rules are the same in every state. For type 2 diabetes, a GLP-1 goes through your Medicare drug plan. Wegovy for heart-disease risk and Zepbound for sleep apnea also go through your drug plan. For weight management, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge can cover Wegovy, Zepbound KwikPen and Foundayo from July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027. What differs by state is which drug plans you can join.
Where can I get free Medicare help in New York?
Call Health Insurance Information, Counseling and Assistance Program (HIICAP) at 1-800-701-0501. It's the State Health Insurance Assistance Program for New York: free, unbiased, and it doesn't sell plans. A counselor can read your plan's drug list with you and explain prior authorization and appeals.
Why do Medicare drug plans in New York cover different medicines?
Each Medicare drug plan has its own list of covered drugs, its own price tiers, and its own rules such as prior authorization. The plans on offer depend on where you live, so two people in New York can get different answers for the same medicine.
Does a place listed here prescribe GLP-1 medicines?
Not necessarily. Listings come from public federal data that shows a place exists and how to reach it. It doesn't record whether a place prescribes GLP-1 medicines or accepts a particular plan, so call and ask first.
What should I ask before I call?
