Sharp decline in GLP-1 usage in 2026 as insurance companies drop coverage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Roughly three-quarters of spending on GLP-1 drugs in Massachusetts was for weight loss in 2025, but spending in 2026 is expected to “drop significantly” due to changes in insurance coverage, according to the Health Policy Commission.
