Most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, do not cover drugs for weight loss. Why should you?
Why should you indemnify anyone +$10,000 a year for a weight loss drug they don’t need when they can exercise, control their diet and lead a healthy lifestyle instead?
For those plan sponsors covering weight loss drugs it’s time to take away Daddy’s credit card. Stop enriching PBMs (yes, they get a commission on every prescription disguised as a ‘rebate’) and put in a sensible weight loss program instead. It’s called individual responsibility.

Heuro Health’s Obesity & Diabetes Management Program Can Make A Difference
Type 2 Diabetes Remission Program For The Lower Rio Grande Valley – Obesity is a leading factor among diabetics. It takes a dedicated journey to achieve lasting weight loss which is hard to do unless you have a program in place that’s proven to work.
JEFF BERHARD, PRESIDENT OF HUERO HEALTH:
The obesity epidemic in the United States has escalated type 2 diabetes to unprecedented levels. It’s surprising that the majority of resources are allocated to treating type 2 diabetes rather than addressing its primary cause in about 85% of cases—excess weight.
Previously considered a secondary option, GLP/GIP medications are now the primary treatment for type 2 diabetes. These drugs are covered by 97% of self-funded Plan Sponsors with just a simple prior authorization to confirm the diagnosis.
Heuro Health is currently engaging with self-funded employers who find that 50% of their type 2 diabetic employees/dependents are on these costly medications, significantly impacting their healthcare budgets. This trend is financially unsustainable and is only increasing. According to the ADA, this number will rise to 60% of all type-2 diabetics will be on GLP/GIP medications by 2026. This requires a strategy and plan to mitigate these increases through diabetes remission.
Merely using GLP/GIP agonists is very unlikely to bring type 2 diabetes into remission. A successful approach involves a 24-month, comprehensive program guided by obesity specialists, RD’s, neuroplasticity coaches and effective tools used by patients daily.
Heuro Health stands out as a leading national care provider, helping to reduce GLP/GIP costs for employers. Our program supports weight loss and overall metabolic health and has achieved a 60% remission rate in our two-year journey. Participants in our program significantly reduce their dependency on expensive diabetic medications, regain their health sustainably, and decrease employer healthcare costs by 75%.
Our members appreciate our white-glove approach to care and service. We eliminate barriers to care, bringing solutions directly to our clients, and meeting them wherever they are.
If you are a broker, consultant, or employer looking to enhance your employees’ health and significantly reduce GLP/GIP expenses, contact me to explore our effective solutions.
