A new Aon report analyzed health insurance claims for over 50 million U.S. residents, revealing that while GLP-1 weight loss medications can be costly upfront, they result in significant long-term savings on medical expenses for both employers and employees. The study tracked data from 2022 to 2024, noting that costs for GLP-1 users decreased substantially after the initial spike. Additionally, users experienced a notable reduction in cardiovascular incidents and other health issues, affirming the potential benefits of these treatments in managing chronic diseases and reducing overall healthcare costs.
GLP-1 treatments, while initially expensive, lead to significant long-term savings in employee medical costs, particularly for conditions like obesity and cardiovascular health.
The analysis highlights that GLP-1 drug users experienced a drastic reduction in overall medical costs and fewer hospitalizations related to cardiac incidents.
