Medicare coverage is always a headache to figure out! Generally, if it is strictly prescribed for Type 2 diabetes, most Medicare Part D plans do cover Mounjaro. But double-check with your specific plan details so you don't get a shock at the pharmacy.

I was looking into this for an uncle living in the US. It seems Medicare Part D plans usually cover Mounjaro when it is explicitly prescribed for Type 2 diabetes, but they might require prior authorization first.
