Finding the balance
The problem:
The weight health landscape is changing
- Rx costs are skyrocketing– significant demand, with growing clinical indications for GLP-1 for both T2D and obesity.
- Need for program to support cost control around Rx spend - lack of comprehensive solutions.
- Point solution vendors narrowly focused on weight management, high-acuity clinical intervention or diabetes.
Partnership with
WeightWatchers for Business
- Delay/avoidance of costly medications through a step-therapy approach
- Engagement as access, combining behavior change program with medications
- Protocols to support de-escalation of medications when appropriate
Outcome:
Improved Weight Health
- Avoidance of high-cost claims tied to obesity and related conditions
- Reduced cost exposure
- Increased employee engagement and satisfaction
