GLP-1 Medications Are Reshaping Obesity Care—But Are They Sustainable?
At VitalShield Insurance, we’re watching a seismic shift unfold in real time.
Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and other GLP-1s have exploded into the spotlight—originally developed for diabetes, now widely used for weight loss.
On one hand, they’re delivering impressive health outcomes.
On the other… they’re pushing pharmacy budgets and insurance plans to the brink
📈 Why It Matters for Our Clients
If you're an employer, a Medicare beneficiary, or a family trying to choose the right plan—these rising costs will affect you. Whether it's higher premiums, tighter coverage restrictions, or delays in access, the ripple effects of GLP-1 demand are already in motion.
We’re seeing:
- Skyrocketing costs to public and private plans
