Why conventional GLP-1 coverage falls short

Too costly to scale

Full-dose prescriptions can quickly overwhelm your medical trend.

No behavioral support

Without coaching, members often regain weight or stop treatment early.

Medication-dependent model

Most solutions don’t taper, driving long-term costs and dependency.
