Most-filled product

Ozempic

Indiana Medicaid paid for 190,013 GLP-1 prescriptions in 2025, 1.7% of the 11.26 million paid nationally and number 15 of 51 (50 states and DC). It reimbursed pharmacies $203.2 million before manufacturer rebates, about $1,070 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 8,749 of those prescriptions (4.6%). 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, Indiana Medicaid GLP-1 prescriptions went from 100,728 to 190,013, 1.9 times the 2021 count. From 2024 to 2025 the count fell by 8,656.

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.

Indiana Employee Plan and Insurer GLP-1 Rules

State of Indiana employee health plan

Does not cover GLP-1s for weight loss

Indiana's state employee pharmacy benefit stopped covering GLP-1 drugs used for weight loss on January 1, 2026.

  • The State Personnel Department says weight-loss GLP-1s left the state's pharmacy benefit on January 1, 2026.

    “Effective January 1, 2026, GLP-1 drugs used for weight loss will no longer be covered under the State’s pharmacy benefit.”

    Source: Indiana State Personnel Department. Read October 29, 2026.

We have no Indianainsurer 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 Indiana Compares to Other Midwest States

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

StateMedicaid and GLP-1s for obesityMedicaid GLP-1 Rx, 2025
Indiana (this page)Not covered190,013
IllinoisNot covered288,470
IowaNot covered88,518
KansasCovered, January 2026 (KFF)50,850
MichiganCovered, January 2026 (KFF)607,982
MinnesotaCovered, January 2026 (KFF)230,594
MissouriCovered, January 2026 (KFF)285,105

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.
