Embla for employers

Cut GLP-1 costs in half. Without cutting access

Embla pairs GLP-1s with behavioral coaching so employees need less medication to lose more weight. The result: better outcomes, lower pharmacy spend, and a benefit your plan can sustain.

Why most GLP-1
coverage backfires

Too expensive

High-dose prescriptions with no controls overwhelm self-funded budgets.

Too little support

No coaching means poor adherence, low impact, and inevitable weight regain.

No long-term value

When behavior doesn’t change, medication alone doesn’t last.
