Ep. 812 - Weight loss drugs: Medicare limits and market demand on a collision course!


Listen Later

Patients with Medicare Advantage insurance coverage: rural hospitals are asking themselves whether they can afford to keep accepting them!

This is the subject of our "Medicare Advantage Minute" today.

In "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" we learn how Medicare would cover home infusion therapy services.

Then we spot check some rate increase statistics in order to determine whether inflationary trends are still exerting upward pressure on insurance premiums.

They are.

Medicare is not allowed to provide and pay for drugs whose only function is weight loss. Some of the newly distributed GLP-1 drugs provide weight loss effects as well as beneficial treatment of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This causes a high demand for these expensive meds.

Finally, we learn what some pinko organization thinks are the best states and worst states for overall health care access.
