Every GLP-1 option has a catch

Your clients need GLP-1 coverage. But every path on the table right now creates a new problem.

14%
Cover it through the plan

GLP-1s now account for 14% of all Rx spend. Pharmacy costs spike. PBM rebates obscure the real number. 45% of users discontinue within a year and the weight comes back. The spend doesn't.

29%
Exclude coverage entirely

29% of employees say they'd switch employers for GLP-1 access. Your client loses ground in the talent market and you're the one who has to explain why they didn't act.

84%
Add another point solution

84% of consultants report point solution fatigue among their clients. Another vendor, another integration, another login. That's not a recommendation. It's a burden.

Embla bundled pricing
Embla pricing card

One price. Risk on us.

Bundled PEPM under $500

Licensed clinician, 1:1 coach, GLP-1 medication, and the member app. Everything in one predictable monthly price per engaged member.

Same price at any dose

If a member needs more medication, we absorb the cost. Our members average less than half the standard maximum dose. That's our bet to make.

55% less medication spend

Because the behavioral intervention drives outcomes, members need far less medication. Lower doses mean lower drug cost, fewer side effects, and a realistic path off GLP-1s entirely.

Less medication. Minimal rebound.

The behavioral work is the intervention. Medication quiets the noise while members build skills that last. 78.5% taper or stop GLP-1s with no average weight regain.

See the research

1:1 behavioral coaching

Same dedicated coach. CBT and ACT-based. Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, emotional eating.

Lowest effective dose

Independently prescribed by a licensed clinician. Fewer side effects, less muscle loss, lower cost.

Structured tapering

Planned from day one. Gradual, never rushed. 78.5% taper or stop successfully.

Ongoing maintenance

Continued coaching, accountability, and habit reinforcement after tapering.

TRIM study outcomes

Proof for your clients

16.7% average weight loss

Over 64 weeks. Consistent across BMI classes. Comparable to clinical trial results at a fraction of the medication.

55% less GLP-1 medication

78.5% taper or stop

No average weight regain at six months. This is our own published research (Seier et al., Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2025).

No plan integration. No PBM involvement. No eligibility file sync at launch. Embla sits alongside existing benefits. Nothing changes for the plan.
Fully managed by Embla
We handle member communications, enrollment, onboarding, coaching, clinical coordination, and ongoing reporting. Your client's HR team doesn't touch it.
Live in weeks, not months

No minimums, no per-employee fees, no setup costs. Your clients pay only for members who are actively engaged in the program.

The employer outcome report

Watch our co-founder walk through an actual employer report: engagement, weight loss, medication usage, tapering, and cost impact. This is what your clients receive quarterly.

A benefit that makes you look good

You bring the client relationship. We bring a GLP-1 benefit with published outcomes, bundled pricing, and zero plan disruption.

Win accounts

GLP-1 access is a top-3 employee demand. A cost-controlled solution with published outcomes positions you as the advisor who brought the answer.

Stand out in RFPs

A fully managed carve-out with bundled pricing and peer-reviewed data is a different conversation than the same PBM-managed approach everyone else recommends.

Zero risk to the plan

No plan design changes. No PBM renegotiation. No carrier disruption. If it doesn't work, nothing was touched. If it does, you brought it.

We support you, never replace you

Co-branded materials, client presentations, dedicated partner contact, and outcomes reporting for your reviews. We never go around you.

"Their approach and results are simply the best we've seen."

What your clients will ask

"What happens when they stop the drug?"
78.5% taper or stop with no average weight regain at six months. The program is designed from day one to make medication temporary. Members build behavioral skills throughout so they're ready when tapering begins.
"How is this different from just covering GLP-1s?"
Coverage alone means max dose, no behavioral support, no off-ramp. Embla bundles 1:1 coaching with low-dose medication and a structured tapering protocol. Same outcomes, 55% less drug, and a plan to stop.
"Does this touch our plan?"
No. Standalone carve-out. No plan integration, no PBM, no eligibility file sync. Nothing changes for your client's existing medical or pharmacy benefits. Only outcomes change.
"What if utilization spikes?"
One flat PEPM regardless of dose. If a member needs more medication, Embla absorbs the cost. Your client's exposure is fixed from day one. No surprise claims.
"How fast can we launch?"
Weeks, not months. No IT integration, no vendor onboarding queue. We handle communications, enrollment, and ongoing management. Your client's HR team doesn't touch it.
"What data do we get?"
Quarterly outcome reports covering engagement, weight loss, medication usage, tapering progress, and cost impact. Designed for your client reviews. Watch our co-founder walk through an actual report in the video above.
