Pre-Forum Private Employer Roundtable: GLP-1 Coverage Doesn't Have To Be An All-or-Nothing Decision (2 Dec 2026)

Wed, 02 Dec 2026 16:00:00 GMT

GLP-1 Coverage Doesn't Have To Be An All-or-Nothing Decision

December 2, 2026 | Irving Convention Center, 3rd Floor | 10:00A - 12:00P

**Employers Only Event**

As demand for GLP-1 medications continues to grow, employers are balancing increasingly complex priorities: improving employee health, managing costs, and designing benefits that remain sustainable over time.

In this roundtable, the 9amHealth team will share a case study of two Fortune 100 employers with very different goals and different approaches to GLP-1 coverage. Despite those differences, both organizations achieved strong clinical outcomes while managing costs.

We’ll explore what shaped each employer’s decisions, why each approach was successful, and the key considerations benefits leaders should weigh when balancing employee health, cost, and long-term sustainability. Rather than advocating for an all-or-nothing approach, the discussion will examine the practical considerations and benefits leaders should take when designing GLP-1 coverage that aligns with their organization’s priorities.

You'll leave with practical frameworks and real-world examples for making more informed decisions about GLP-1s and other high-cost medications.

**Light Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
