Short answer for 2026: on FEP Blue Standard and Basic, Wegovy is Tier 3 with prior approval. Zepbound is excluded on Standard and needs an approved formulary exception. On FEP Blue Focus, Wegovy isn't covered without an exception.
For 2027, OPM requires every FEHB and PSHB plan to cover at least one GLP-1 for weight loss, with intensive behavioral therapy. Open Season runs 9 November to 14 December 2026.
FEP Blue in 2026
- Wegovy and Saxenda: Tier 3 with prior approval on Standard and Basic; not covered on Focus. FEP Blue's pharmacy FAQ says an approved exception puts Wegovy at Tier 2 on Focus.
- Zepbound: on Standard's excluded-drug list. With an approved formulary exception it's Tier 3 on Standard and Basic and Tier 2 on Focus. An exception doesn't lower your cost-sharing.
- Prior approval criteria: age 18 or over with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with heart disease or a weight-related condition, plus enrollment in a comprehensive weight-management program. The first approval lasts 6 months; renewal needs at least 5% weight loss kept off. For Zepbound, FEP Blue also requires that two oral weight-loss drugs haven't worked, plus a trial of preferred products.
What changes in 2027
OPM's Carrier Letter 2026-07 requires every FEHB plan and every Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) plan to cover at least one GLP-1 for weight loss and two oral anti-obesity drugs in 2027. Members must have documented intensive behavioral therapy before and during treatment, with 12 to 22 sessions a year and human coaching; app-only or AI-only programs don't count. FEP Blue hadn't published 2027 GLP-1 tiers on its What's New page when we checked, so read each plan's 2027 drug list during Open Season.
Federal retirees on FEP's Medicare drug plan have employer-group Part D coverage, which CMS includes in the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge.
A cash option for government employees
If your plan won't cover it, you don't meet the criteria, or you're waiting for 2027, Goprolean offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as a cash-pay service. They're prescribed only if a licensed physician decides treatment is appropriate after reviewing your intake. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not Wegovy or Zepbound. Goprolean doesn't bill FEHB or PSHB plans.
Federal, state and local government employees can verify with VerifyPass for 10% off their first order and every refill.
See compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide for full details, safety information and plans.
