NY44 Open Forum: December 19, 2024

Weight Management

Below is a recording of the Open Forum as well as a file with the presenters slides. We would also like to provide additional information and clarification on a few items from the live Q&A session.

  • GLP-1 drugs continue to be covered under the Plan for those with a diagnosis of diabetes who satisfy the Trust’s prior authorization criteria. The cost of such drugs is determined by the Plan option that the member is enrolled in.
  • The Trust’s formulary can be found at this link: https://caprx.adaptiverx.com/webSearch/index?key=8F02B26A288102C27BAC82D14C006C6FC54D480F80409B68F7175D0DC1577226.
  • We have been advised by Capital Rx’s pharmacists that there is no process needed to wean off GLP-1 drugs used for weight loss. However, as the Trust cannot provide medical advice, we suggest members consult with their own physician through this process.

More information about the Brook+ Diabetes Prevention program can be found on our website HERE.

The WeightWatchers program is expected to launch in early 2025. A preview of the program can be found HERE. We will provide all members more information as soon as it is available.
