Whether Medicaid pays for a GLP-1 depends heavily on your state — and, for weight loss specifically, only about 11–13 states cover it in 2026, a number that's been shrinking. GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes are covered almost everywhere. Wherever you live, compounded GLP-1 by telehealth is a cash route available nationwide.
