From Coverage to Cost Control: GLP-1 Alternatives for Weight Loss That Unlock Value for Employers

ebn

Due to the growing demand for GLP-1s to help employees lose weight, employers experienced an 8.4% increase in pharmacy benefit costs last year. This pushed organizations to increase their health plan budgets by 5.2% in 2024. While these medications are effective for weight loss, employers are grappling with a critical decision -- whether or not to provide coverage.

Successfully treating obesity does not hinge on this class of so-called miracle drugs alone. There are a variety of alternative anti-obesity medications (AOMs) that are both effective treatments and less expensive. When combined with approaches like step therapy, a broader medication toolkit can help employers unlock the full value of their benefits strategy.

In this webinar, Dr. Rekha Kumar, MD, MS, Chief Medical Officer at Found will share:

• An introduction to alternative AOMs and step therapy
• How to establish effective GLP-1 cost control measures
• The importance of comprehensive weight care to drive effective weight loss
• A real-world example of how to improve employees' overall health
