Less Than 20% of Employer Health Plans Cover GLP-1 Drugs for Weight Loss
In 2024, family premiums for employer-sponsored health plans saw a 7% increase, with most employers absorbing the majority of the cost, according to a report by KFF. The average premium for single coverage hit $8,951, while family coverage reached $25,572. Despite these rising costs, employers largely chose not to expand their benefits to include treatments like weight-loss drugs (GLP-1s) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Over the past few years, premiums have steadily climbed alongside inflation, yet many employers opted against passing these costs onto employees. For instance, the average deductible for single coverage only saw a slight increase, rising from $1,735 in 2023 to $1,787 in 2024. This restraint in shifting costs reflects the challenges employers face in a competitive labor market, where burdening workers with higher healthcare expenses is increasingly difficult.
