Helping Clients Manage What’s Next
GLP-1 Pathways
Over the last few years, the GLP-1 conversation in our industry has shifted, meaning it’s no longer a question of if plans should cover GLP-1s, but how to cover them. As GLP-1 demand and costs continue to rise, plan sponsors are struggling to strike a delicate balance between access, affordability and outcomes. The added complexity of coverage decisions means that a one-size-fits-all GLP-1 strategy no longer works.
That’s why we created GLP-1 Pathways, our flexible, end-to-end approach to managing GLP-1 access, costs and outcomes.
The Right Path for Every GLP-1 Strategy
Diabetes Management
Protect access for members with diabetes while actively managing utilization and plan cost
Diabetes + Weight Management
Expand to weight-management coverage with clear eligibility criteria
Diabetes + Lifestyle Management
Drive lasting weight-management success through specialized clinical care, nutrition and lifestyle support
The Benefits of GLP-1 Pathways
A collaborative process
We work with plan sponsors to assess their current strategy, understand priorities, and identify opportunities together.
Clinical expertise across the GLP-1 journey
We ensure appropriate access, proactively manage therapy for safety and cost, and provide reporting and ongoing market surveillance to help plan sponsors monitor trends and optimize outcomes over time.
Flexible pathways
Our options align with each plan sponsor’s population, goals and budget, including if and how to provide access to weight-management GLP-1.
Responsible cost management
Proactive clinical and cost-management strategies help improve affordability, reduce medication waste and support members with complex needs. Our Diabetes Management and Diabetes + Weight Management include a 1:1 savings guarantee.
Diabetes management as a foundation
Most plan sponsors cover GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 Pathways builds on that foundation while providing options to expand into weight management when needed.
A strategy that evolves
Outcomes reporting and market surveillance helps clients identify emerging trends, uncover new opportunities, and optimize their approach over time.
We also offer more choices with DirectAccess, our optional off-benefit solution that addresses member demand for weight-management GLP-1s while giving plan sponsors more predictability over plan costs.
