Watch the on-demand webinar for insights how leading employers and health plans are balancing GLP-1 expansion with cost management through innovative direct-to-employer strategies, actionable coverage frameworks, and proactive benefit designs.

If your organization’s cardiometabolic health strategy begins and ends with GLP-1 coverage, you don’t really have a strategy. You have a pharmacy decision masquerading as population health.

Now more than ever employers and plan sponsors are considering altering or removing GLP-1 coverage, but short-term cost cuts can quickly become long term expenses. This guide can help you make a strategic informed decision whether you decide keep GLP-1s on formulary or not.

This crisis in accessibility has laid the foundation for an unproductive debate: should we rely more heavily on clinicians, or tech and AI?

GLP-1s are not over-the-counter supplements. They are chronic disease medications with real physiological consequences. Yet, the care infrastructure around them has not kept pace with the prescribing volume, nor does it consider potential risk factors.

While many solutions have attempted to make “whole health” the center of their care model, conflicting definitions have muddled the process. What does whole health really mean, and where does metabolic care fit in?

If solving the obesity crisis was just about dropping pounds, with the help of GLP-1s, we’d have already accomplished that task. But, weight loss is more than a checked box or renewed prescription. It’s a lifestyle change.

Conversations about weight loss often center on diets, medications, or the number on the scale. But for our very own Erica Terry, Director of Sales, Payer/PBM at Vida Health, the most important lesson was much simpler and far more powerful…

Over the past several years, obesity care has entered a new era of clinical sophistication…

Watch the on-demand webinar exploring how employers can move beyond access alone to build more effective GLP-1 strategies through integrated navigation, clinician oversight, and whole-person metabolic care.
