Teammate Katy Wong, National Pharmacy Team Leader, co-authored an article with Joy Sylvester from Memorial Hermann Health System (MHHS), on GLP-1 coverage for weight loss.<\/p>\n

Brown & Brown\u2019s Employer Health and Benefits Strategy Survey<\/a>\u00a0reported that 70% of employers now cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Yet along with increased coverage and utilization, a sharp uptick in employer-sponsored health care spending has also occurred.<\/p>\n

With Brown & Brown\u2019s survey showing that 85% of employers that offer GLP-1s are considering additional restrictions for 2026, there\u2019s no doubt that the next year will bring even more scrutiny to GLP-1 coverage. But employers and advisors who take a proactive, holistic approach \u2014 marrying medication access with meaningful support \u2014 can avoid reactive cost-cutting and build a benefits strategy that\u2019s both generous and sustainable.<\/p>\n
