If you have a prescription for a <\/span>GLP-1<\/span><\/a> like <\/span>Ozempic or Wegovy<\/span><\/a>, you probably already know that medications in this class of drugs\u2014glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists\u2014are in high demand and come at high prices. Why the hype? Although they were first approved to <\/span>lower blood sugar<\/span><\/a> in people with <\/span>Type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/a>, GLP-1 drugs <\/span>also cause weight loss<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>reduce the risk of heart attack<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of whether you’re on a GLP-1 for diabetes, weight loss, cardiovascular disease, or something else, your prescription could potentially cost more than $1,000 per month. Medicare enrollees may feel like their savings are limited, but there\u2019s good news: SingleCare can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what you need to know about when and how you can use SingleCare to lower the cost of your GLP-1 prescription if you’re on <\/span>Medicare<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you use SingleCare for GLP-1s if on Medicare?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, you can still use SingleCare to lower the cost of GLP-1s if you are enrolled in Medicare. It’s true that people who receive <\/span>Medicare benefits<\/span><\/a> cannot use savings cards or coupons from drug GLP-1 manufacturers like Novo Nordisk or Eli Lilly due to anti-kickback laws. However, SingleCare coupons are different. It is neither illegal nor against any rules to <\/span>use SingleCare coupons while on Medicare<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

So, what’s the catch? Medicare and SingleCare coupons <\/span>cannot be combined or used at the same time<\/b>. You must choose between using your Medicare drug coverage or paying cash with a SingleCare coupon or the <\/span>SingleCare discount card<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

When to consider SingleCare for GLP-1s if you\u2019re on Medicare<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are three situations when you could save money by paying cash with a SingleCare coupon instead of using your Medicare benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n
