The Landscape

Every employer is facing
the same question.

Employees want GLP-1 access, weight loss support, and better health outcomes. Employers want cost control, predictability, fairness, and sustainability.

The question is no longer whether employees are interested. The question is how much the employer wants to participate.
Employees want
  • GLP-1 access
  • Weight loss support
  • Better health outcomes
  • Affordable treatment
Employers want
  • Cost control
  • Predictable budgets
  • Fairness
  • Sustainable benefits
Decision Framework

Two ways to solve
the same problem.

Both options give the employer real influence over outcomes. The difference is whether the employer wants to fund the medication directly, or guide and support the treatment journey.
Option 1

Employer Helps Pay

Includes
  • Employer contribution
  • Restricted virtual debit card
