Employers Who Cover Weight Loss Drugs
Finding an employer who offers health benefits covering weight loss medications can make a significant difference for individuals seeking medical support in their weight management journey. With the rising demand for prescription weight loss drugs like Wegovy® and Zepbound®, many companies are expanding their health plans to include these treatments. In fact, as of November of 2024, statistics have shown that approximately 44% of employers in the United States with at least 500 employees cover weight loss drugs.*
