GLP-1 Coverage & Costs in Florida (2026)
$79/month (Embody, compounded semaglutide, monthly plan) is the lowest monthly-plan price we have recorded among the programs on this page. Embody lists 48 states and our records do not name them, so confirm Florida at intake.
The lowest recorded compounded tirzepatide price is $129/month (Embody, monthly plan). Among programs recorded as available in all 50 states, the lowest is $139/month (AgelessRx, compounded semaglutide, monthly plan). 6 of the 49 programs listed have no recorded price. Recorded prices cover medication and known program fees, not a verified total.

Florida Medicaid GLP-1 Prescriptions in 2025
133,402
#21
$127.3 million
Ozempic
Florida Medicaid paid for 133,402 GLP-1 prescriptions in 2025, 1.2% of the 11.26 million paid nationally and number 21 of 51 (50 states and DC). It reimbursed pharmacies $127.3 million before manufacturer rebates, about $954 per prescription, and the most-filled product was Ozempic. These counts include diabetes prescriptions, not only weight loss. Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda, the brands approved for chronic weight management, made up 1,166 of those prescriptions (0.9%). 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, Florida Medicaid GLP-1 prescriptions went from 52,797 to 133,402, 2.5 times the 2021 count. From 2024 to 2025 the count rose by 2,102.

CMS hides rows under 11 prescriptions, so small counts are slightly low. CMS publishes no per-enrollee rate here, so a total reflects the size of the program as much as use.

Florida Blue
Does not cover GLP-1s for weight lossFlorida Blue's January 2025 provider notice says medications used for weight loss or weight management are excluded from its health insurance plans, so authorization requests for Wegovy, Zepbound or Saxenda for weight loss are denied.

Medicare Part D GLP-1 Claims in Florida, 2024
Florida prescribers wrote 1,448,671 Medicare Part D GLP-1 claims in 2024, number 4 of 51, with $1.85 billion in gross drug cost before rebates. Ozempic led with 721,821 claims for 145,040 enrollees. Wegovy had 12,584 claims. Part D did not pay for weight loss alone in 2024, so these fills are for diabetes and other approved uses.

| Ozempic | 721,821 | 145,040 |

How Florida Compares to Other Southeast States
Medicaid coverage of GLP-1s for obesity is optional for states, so the answer differs by state. Here is how Florida and its neighbors in the Southeast are recorded:
| State | Medicaid and GLP-1s for obesity | Medicaid GLP-1 Rx, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Florida (this page) | Not covered | 133,402 |
| Alabama | Not covered | 71,772 |
| Georgia | Not covered | 59,336 |
| Kentucky | Not covered | 274,170 |
| North Carolina | Covered, January 2026 (KFF) | 484,401 |
| South Carolina | Not covered | 65,093 |
| Tennessee | Covered, January 2026 (KFF) | 135,961 |
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.

Commercial plans offer an internal appeal, then external review; Florida Medicaid enrollees can ask for a fair hearing. The denial letter names the deadlines.
How to Check Your Specific Plan in Florida
- Florida Medicaid: Medicaid: not covered as of January 2026 (KFF). Ask your Medicaid plan for its drug list and prior authorization rules, or find the state agency on Medicaid.gov's state contacts.
- State employees: State of Florida employee health plan (Division of State Group Insurance), covers with limits per the documents cited above. Confirm with the plan before you fill a prescription.
- Insurers on record for Florida: Florida Blue. Each still depends on whether your employer bought the weight-loss benefit.
- Any other plan: call the number on your card and ask whether Wegovy or Zepbound is covered for weight loss, which tier it sits on, and what prior authorization needs. Get the answer in writing.
