Policy note: Mounjaro (tirzepatide) appears in the GIP/GLP-1 Agonists table as a Tier-2 (Special PA) product. The Special PA criteria for GLP-1 Agonists and GIP/GLP-1 Agonists apply. The underlying Tier-2 antidiabetic criteria require T2DM diagnosis and at least 3-month metformin trial (unless intolerable) or a clinically significant reason. A clinical exception applies for medications with a unique FDA approved indication not covered by all Tier-2 and Tier-3 GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 agonists. No quantity limits specified in this document for Mounjaro specifically.
