Improving Lives, Controlling Costs: How To Optimize Your Weight Care Spending

In the age of GLP-1s, balancing costs with providing access to weight care has become a challenge for benefits leaders. If coverage is made available, it could cost employers $10K per employee annually–a cost that skyrockets to $35K per family annually if coverage exists for employees and their dependents.

Igniting a culture of employee wellness that prioritizes preventative care, not reactive spending, shouldn't be a balancing act. The long-term side effects of not treating obesity and its chronic conditions are far greater than the challenges resulting from GLP-1s. With the right tools, organizations can create a benefits design that improves lives while controlling costs.

In this session, Adele Feng, Director of Clinical Operations at Found, and Corey Gilchrist, VP of Total Rewards at Shamrock Foods Company will dive into:

• Cost containment measures and how to establish a strategy that controls spending in the long-term
• Real-world data from a case study built in partnership with Shamrock Foods Company that provides evidence on the impact of virtual weight care on obesity
• The role of compounded GLP-1s, clinical oversight, and metabolic health as forces shaping the weight care landscape
• Recommendations on how to build a benefits design that meets your strategic priorities.
