West Virginia Medicaid GLP-1 Prescriptions in 2025
94,999
#24
$88.1 million
Ozempic
West Virginia Medicaid paid for 94,999 GLP-1 prescriptions in 2025, 0.8% of the 11.26 million paid nationally and number 24 of 51 (50 states and DC). It reimbursed pharmacies $88.1 million before manufacturer rebates, about $927 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 307 of those prescriptions (0.3%). 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, West Virginia Medicaid GLP-1 prescriptions went from 28,874 to 94,999, 3.3 times the 2021 count. From 2024 to 2025 the count rose by 2,229.

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.

How West Virginia 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 West Virginia and its neighbors in the Mid-Atlantic are recorded:
| State | Medicaid and GLP-1s for obesity | Medicaid GLP-1 Rx, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| West Virginia (this page) | Not covered | 94,999 |
| Delaware | Covered, January 2026 (KFF) | 55,674 |
| District of Columbia | Not covered | 27,754 |
| Maryland | Not covered | 148,487 |
| Virginia | Covered, January 2026 (KFF) | 227,472 |
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.
