Description:
As GLP-1 utilization accelerates and formulary strategies evolve, employers and health plans face a pressing challenge: managing pharmacy costs while genuinely improving long-term health outcomes. The reality is complicated, and success is difficult to truly measure. A one-size-fits-all, siloed approach won’t work. The solution requires not just isolated fixes, but thoughtful, integrated strategies that reflect an understanding of these complex issues.
Join Sara Izadi, PharmD, Chief Clinical Officer at Judi Health (Capital Rx), and Dr. Richard Frank, Chief Medical Officer at Vida Health, for a timely discussion on how coordinated pharmacy benefits and whole-person care delivery can drive better outcomes, higher member engagement, and more sustainable cost trends.
Over the hour, we’ll explore the current state of play, including how the introduction of oral GLP-1s and recent data and price reductions could impact the industry. We’ll also share real-world data on Judi Health’s and Vida’s collaboration, discuss Vida’s broader metabolic health strategy, including obesity, diabetes, cardiometabolic risk, and GLP-1 management, and examine how pharmacy benefit alignment plays a pivotal role in clinical success.
Attendees will gain practical insights into:
• Why pharmacy benefits and claims data must be integrated into metabolic care strategy
• How aligned clinical and pharmacy models improve GLP-1 stewardship
• Real-world data from employer populations – medication utilization, cost, and weight loss outcomes – as well as some powerful member success stories that bring program impact to life
• Actionable strategies to balance cost containment with member experience
This session is ideal for benefits leaders, consultants, and health plan decision-makers seeking a more strategic, data-driven approach to managing metabolic health.
