Employer coverage for GLP-1 weight-loss drugs is declining, with many dropping these benefits by 2027. However, the FDA recently expanded the label for Eli Lilly's Mounjaro to include cardiovascular risk reduction in type 2 diabetes patients, strengthening its case for insurance coverage in diabetes management. This label does not affect obesity drug coverage but supports Lilly's argument that treating diabetes reduces costly hospital events. Despite price declines, Mounjaro's sales surged 91% in Q2, helping Lilly raise its full-year revenue forecast. The new label may protect diabetes-related reimbursements but is unlikely to reverse cuts in obesity drug coverage.
