Managing the rising demand for GLP-1 weight loss solutions while controlling costs is an increasing challenge for employers. At MOBE, we support people who are taking or considering anti-obesity medications (AOMs) through our proven, comprehensive, whole-person approach, specifically designed for individuals with complex health profiles. It's a win-win solution that works.

Addressing the Cost of AOM/GLP-1s

Anti-obesity medications, including GLP-1s, come with long-term cost implications that many solutions fail to address.

  • Before a patient starts on AOMs, best practices often recommend lifestyle changes first—adding time, cost, and complexity for employers to manage.
  • Many individuals using AOMs may experience severe side effects resulting in hospitalization.
  • Frequent stops, starts, and switches in AOMs increase costs as patients seek further interventions after setbacks.

No One-Size Fits All Solution

When it comes to weight loss, there’s no such thing as a quick fix. 

Watch MOBE’s Senior Vice President, Health Outcomes Strategy Leslie Helou, PharmD explain why sustainable weight loss requires a whole-person approach—including a review of medications and chronic conditions.


I tried a GLP-1 medication for weight loss, but I just didn’t like the side effects. My MOBE Guide said, ‘Let's talk about WHY you want to give up,’ and that was a difference-maker. I'm doing really well now, eating well and exercising, and I'm doing it without meds. Plus, I'm learning how to prevent slips and derailments. I have better skills and much better energy.”

—Mitch, MOBE participant

  • Have a BMI ≥25
  • Are using or considering the use of anti-obesity medications (including GLP-1s)
