Many insurance companies are dropping the coverage of GLP-1 drugs for weight loss use. They charge companies a "surcharge" if they wish to continue carrying the coverage. What are companies doing? Are you continuing to cover GLP-1 drugs for weight loss?

Our medical plan (self-insured) will continue to cover GLP-1s, but to manage costs, we are implementing a program offered by the PBM that will establish additional requirements for the drug to be covered. This will be accomplished through a prior authorization process where members will need to meet a BMI threshold as well as engage in a company sponsored weight loss program. In addition to managing costs, the program aligns with the broader objective of promoting the overall health and well-being of our associates.
