CMS has introduced the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program. This is a short-term pilot project to determine the financial and health impacts of Medicare paying for weight loss drugs.

Don't let healthcare planning be an afterthought. Moving your healthcare to Mexico should get just as much attention as every other part of your move.

To avoid problems when entering Mexico with your medications, ensure you have all the required documentation. Declare your medications, especially if you are bringing controlled substances or large quantities. Don’t try to sneak in medications that are forbidden. Random searches occur at the border when you pass through customs, both when driving and flying.

Most expats and retirees relocating from the U.S. don’t need to worry about getting their same medications in Mexico. This is because several of the drug manufacturers supply medications to both countries. You get the same quality, but often at a lower cost.
