Walgreens Expands Weight Management Services with New GLP-1 Support and Virtual Care
Walgreens has announced an expansion of its weight management services designed to help patients navigate the complexities of GLP-1 medication therapy. The new offerings include enhanced virtual care access, assistance with insurance coverage eligibility checks, prior authorization support, and integration with the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program for eligible participants. To improve patient adherence and address affordability, Walgreens is introducing additional pharmacist outreach following prescription pickup and a centralized online resource hub. These services aim to mitigate common barriers such as high costs and treatment discontinuation, providing patients with tools like the Rx Savings Finder and information on manufacturer savings cards for medications including Wegovy and Zepbound.
