Telehealth companies such as Hims & Hers Health Inc., Noom Inc., and Sesame Inc. are meeting the increasing demand for weight-loss medications by providing affordable alternatives to popular drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.

Noom has introduced a compounded version of Wegovy priced at $149 per month, which has garnered significant interest from employers looking to offer these medications as a benefit to their employees.

Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom, expressed surprise at the level of employer engagement, noting that many companies were already exploring ways to support their workforce's health. This trend reflects a growing recognition of the importance of weight management solutions in employee wellness programs, as businesses strive to enhance their benefits offerings in response to employee needs.
