Make Noise in Washington: Take Action

Here's the issue: Due to a decades-old law, the federal government does not cover or pay for obesity medications in the Medicare prescription drug program. These old rules do not align with new scientific updates about treating obesity, today’s health guidelines, and the way many government agencies and states understand obesity as a serious disease and cover these medications.

We encourage you to act now and ask the Biden Administration to cover obesity medications under Medicare Part D and to expand the availability of IBT providers. By doing this, Washington will provide more effective and focused care for obesity and related health problems.

Act now.
