$20.1 million

Most-filled product

Wegovy

Delaware Medicaid paid for 55,674 GLP-1 prescriptions in 2025, 0.5% of the 11.26 million paid nationally and number 35 of 51 (50 states and DC). It reimbursed pharmacies $20.1 million before manufacturer rebates, about $362 per prescription, and the most-filled product was Wegovy. These counts include diabetes prescriptions, not only weight loss. Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda, the brands approved for chronic weight management, made up 31,647 of those prescriptions (56.8%). Wegovy and Zepbound also carry other approved uses, so this is an upper bound on weight-loss use, not a count of it.

From 2021 to 2025, Delaware Medicaid GLP-1 prescriptions went from 12,923 to 55,674, 4.3 times the 2021 count. From 2024 to 2025 the count rose by 15,532.

Delaware Employee Plan and Insurer GLP-1 Rules

State of Delaware Group Health Insurance Plan (non-Medicare)

Covers GLP-1s for weight loss

Delaware's state employee prescription plan still covers GLP-1s for weight management such as Wegovy and Zepbound. Since July 1, 2026 non-Medicare members pay a $200 copay per 30-day supply, set by the State Employee Benefits Committee on March 9, 2026.

  • The Statewide Benefits Office says the Committee voted on March 9, 2026 to raise the weight-management GLP-1 copay to $200 per 30-day supply.

    “At the March 9, 2026 State Employee Benefits Committee (SEBC) meeting, the Committee voted to increase the copay to $200 per 30-day supply for GLP-1 medications for weight management, such as Wegovy and Zepbound*, effective July 1, 2026 for non-Medicare prescription plan participants.”

We have no Delawareinsurer policy on record yet. Most commercial plans decide GLP-1 coverage plan by plan, so the employer's choice matters as much as the insurer.

How Delaware Compares to Other Mid-Atlantic States

Medicaid coverage of GLP-1s for obesity is optional for states, so the answer differs by state. Here is how Delaware and its neighbors in the Mid-Atlantic are recorded:

StateMedicaid and GLP-1s for obesityMedicaid GLP-1 Rx, 2025
Delaware (this page)Covered, January 2026 (KFF)55,674
District of ColumbiaNot covered27,754
MarylandNot covered148,487
VirginiaCovered, January 2026 (KFF)227,472
West VirginiaNot covered94,999

Our recorded telehealth prices are not state-specific: $79 to $399/month on monthly plans. Medicaid and marketplace coverage is what varies.

KFF counted 13 state Medicaid programs covering GLP-1s for obesity under fee-for-service as of January 2026. Managed care plans may differ. Later counts may be lower: The RX Index, an independent tracker, listed 11 in a July 10, 2026 snapshot and says that is not a current national count. Sources read November 6, 2026. Policies change, so confirm with your state Medicaid agency or plan.
