Elevance Health is launching a digital weight management program as interest picks up around new medications for weight loss called GLP-1s.

Elevation Health正在启动一项数字体重管理计划，人们对称为GLP-1s的新型减肥药物越来越感兴趣。

The program announced Monday will be available in the spring for employer clients of Elevance’s pharmacy benefit manager CarelonRx. Users who are prescribed GLP-1 drugs will have access to medication management support and a digital companion module, according to the release.

周一宣布的该计划将于春季为Elevation药房福利管理公司CarelonRx的雇主客户提供。根据该版本，处方GLP-1药物的用户将获得药物管理支持和数字伴侣模块。

Elevance joins a growing list of insurers expanding their weight management offerings after demand for GLP-1 drugs has soared over the past year.

在过去一年对GLP-1药物的需求激增后，Elevation加入了不断扩大其体重管理产品的保险公司名单。

Utilization of GLP-1s, short for glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists, has been building as the drugs, originally approved for diabetes, are used more frequently for weight loss.

GLP-1s是胰高血糖素样肽1激动剂的缩写，随着最初被批准用于糖尿病的药物更频繁地用于减肥，GLP-1s的利用一直在建设中。

Heightened demand for GLP-1s, which include Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy, have created a worldwide shortage of the drugs, despite their hefty price tags. List prices for Wegovy and Ozempic can hover around $1,000, although net prices — negotiated by companies in part through PBMs — can be lower..

对GLP-1（包括诺和诺德的Ozempic和Wegovy）的需求增加，导致全球药品短缺，尽管价格昂贵。Wegovy和Ozempic的标价可能徘徊在1000美元左右，尽管公司部分通过PBMs协商的净价可能更低。。

Insurers have been pulling back on coverage of the drugs to rein in costs as demand surges. However, payers’ own PBMs are seeing benefits from rising demand for GLP-1s. Last year, insurers including Elevance said they generated notable revenue from GLP-1s in their pharmacy arms.

随着需求激增，保险公司一直在缩减药品的保险范围，以控制成本。然而，付款人自己的PBM从对GLP-1的需求上升中受益。去年，包括Elevation在内的保险公司表示，他们从制药部门的GLP-1s中获得了可观的收入。

Elevance’s new program will provide coaching and tools to help customers monitor weight loss, along with screenings for behavioral health and social needs, according to the insurer.

据该保险公司称，Elevation的新计划将提供指导和工具，帮助客户监测体重减轻情况，同时筛查行为健康和社会需求。

Cigna and UnitedHealth have also announced similar programs in a bid to capitalize on GLP-1 furor.

信诺（Cigna）和联合健康（UnitedHealth）也宣布了类似的计划，以利用GLP-1的热潮。

Cigna’s health services arm Evernorth — which includes its PBM Express Scripts — released its chronic condition management program dubbed EncircleRx last year after Evernorth saw an increase in GLP-1 utilization.

信诺的健康服务部门Evernorth（包括其PBM Express脚本）去年发布了名为EncircleRx的慢性病管理计划，此前Evernorth的GLP-1利用率有所提高。

UnitedHealth released its weight management program Optum Rx Weight Engage in January.

UnitedHealth于1月份发布了其体重管理计划Optum Rx weight Engage。
