Trust weighs future weight-loss drug coverage

Blue Cross and Blue Shield will stop covering GLP-1 medications prescribed for weight loss on July 1, 2026, unless the Trust chooses another arrangement. The drugs cost the plan $1.019 million last year, about 4% of plan costs, and are used by roughly 77 of 2,600 members. The Trust must notify Blue Cross and Blue Shield by March 1, 2026, and has not yet made a final coverage decision.
