GLP-1 Access Is Broken—Here’s How Employers Can Fix It

GLP-1 medications have transformed the landscape of weight management and metabolic health. But despite the demand, the system still isn’t working for most Americans.every month.

The Problem: Coverage Gaps That Leave Employees Behind

As of mid-2025, fewer than 20% of employer-sponsored health plans cover GLP-1s for weight loss without a diabetes diagnosis (KFF, 2024). Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA marketplace plans have even fewer options.

Even with recent price drops from drug manufacturers, GLP-1 medications still cost many patients hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per month out-of-pocket.

Why Employers Need to Step Up

Employers have a unique opportunity to lead the next evolution of healthcare benefits. By offering GLP-1 solutions as part of corporate wellness programs, employers can:

  • Enhance employee satisfaction and retention
  • Help employees prevent chronic disease
  • Improve metabolic health outcomes
  • Reduce absenteeism and productivity loss
