Katy Wong Featured in BenefitsPRO on GLP-1 Coverage: A Roadmap for Balancing Cost and Care

Teammate Katy Wong, National Pharmacy Team Leader, co-authored an article with Joy Sylvester from Memorial Hermann Health System (MHHS), on GLP-1 coverage for weight loss.

Brown & Brown’s Employer Health and Benefits Strategy Survey reported that 70% of employers now cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Yet along with increased coverage and utilization, a sharp uptick in employer-sponsored health care spending has also occurred.

With Brown & Brown’s survey showing that 85% of employers that offer GLP-1s are considering additional restrictions for 2026, there’s no doubt that the next year will bring even more scrutiny to GLP-1 coverage. But employers and advisors who take a proactive, holistic approach — marrying medication access with meaningful support — can avoid reactive cost-cutting and build a benefits strategy that’s both generous and sustainable.
