Effective Jan. 1, 2026, Medi-Cal Rx will update coverage for GLP-1 medications. Read about the extent of the changes here.
O que está mudando
Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda will be removed from the Contract Drugs List (CDL) and will not be covered for weight loss or weight-loss indications.
Other GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Mounjaro, Victoza, Byetta, Bydureon, Trulicity) will remain on the CDL with a Code I diagnosis restriction for type 2 diabetes, but will not be covered for weight loss.
Prior authorization requests for weight loss for members under age 21 may be reviewed for medical necessity, consistent with EPSDT requirements.
