Waltz Health Launches New Direct-to-Employer Access Model for Obesity Management Medications
Waltz Health’s platform offers self-insured employers a scalable, transparent option for FDA-approved obesity drugs with clinical safeguards and real-time patient support.
- In Chicago next year, Waltz Health announced a first-of-its-kind direct-to-employer initiative for FDA-approved obesity medicines to aid self-insured employers.
- Employee expectations have shifted in the past year, and while more than half of corporate health plans cover GLP-1 medicines for diabetes, only one-in-three cover weight management.
- Operationally, Waltz Health will confirm medical appropriateness using FDA label criteria, route prescriptions to pharmacies with reliable inventory, and provide real-time eligibility screening, pharmacy routing and prescription adjudication plus patient engagement services.
- The launch gives employers a new option to offer FDA-approved obesity medicines, with Waltz Health working with Eli Lilly, which highlights employers face real coverage challenges.
- Next year, the channel may face further disruption as Waltz Health says its approach lays a foundation for a more responsive future amid US medicine supply market dynamics.
