Meaning
In Medicare usage, a demonstration is a statutory experiment with its own dates, prices, and rules. The GLP-1 Bridge is one: $50 months, named drugs, named exclusions from Part D payment math.
What that implies
Sunset (31 December 2027). Separate processor. $50 that does not count toward deductible or TrOOP. Extra Help does not apply. Eligibility fences such as a prior 2026 Part D GLP-1 fill.
What it does not imply
That 'Medicare now covers weight-loss drugs' as a permanent formulary fact. That VitalHound or a clinic can enroll you. That a commercial card starts working.
Common error
Shopping AEP as if Bridge were a plan you join, or assuming an extension that has not been published.
