US Employers Cut Weight Loss Drug Coverage
30 Oct
Summary
- Only 53% of US employers now cover weight loss GLP-1s.
- Many employers offering the benefit are considering dropping it.
- Fewer workers will find GLP-1 weight loss coverage this fall.
As enrollment for health plans occurs this fall, a significant number of American workers will discover reduced employer coverage for GLP-1 medications used for weight loss. Currently, only 53% of U.S. employers are providing this benefit.
The trend toward diminishing coverage is accelerating, with nearly a third of companies that still offer GLP-1 drug benefits for weight management actively considering their discontinuation. This indicates a notable shift in corporate healthcare strategies regarding weight loss treatments.
