The combined offering provides employers with a proven approach to GLP-1s, including managing costs, supporting member wellbeing, and reducing long-term health risks

LucyRx, an independent, next-generation pharmacy benefits manager, and Personify Health, the company making healthier easier, announced a strategic partnership to offer employers a more personalized, clinically grounded approach to GLP-1 medication management and weight care.

Through the partnership, LucyRx and Personify Health will deliver an integrated solution that combines pharmacy benefit strategy with personalized support from GLP-1-trained coaches, individualized care plans for medication management, and education from Personify’s Transform Weight Management solution. This holistic program provides members with tailored, coach-led guidance, encouragement and resources to effectively manage their weight and medication.

Together, the two companies are helping employers navigate the rising demand and cost of GLP-1 medications with a model that prioritizes member success and long-term cost management for employers. The partnership is especially impactful for health systems and mission-driven employers, where clinical quality and financial accountability go hand in hand.

The new LucyRx/Personify Health joint effort builds on the success employers are already experiencing using LucyRx for GLP-1 management. For example, an 11,000 life employer group has recorded:

  • An average weight loss per member of 22 pounds in 12 weeks.
  • 40% improvement in medication adherence.
  • $3.2 million in total health care savings.
  • 90% member-reported satisfaction and improved well-being.

“Employers have an incredible opportunity to reduce long-term health care costs through successful weight management programs like ours,” said David Blair, CEO of LucyRx. “Partnering with Personify Health allows us to deliver precisely what employers and their members need to be successful and ultimately healthier, which is our primary goal. This collaboration reflects our belief that smarter pharmacy benefits should always prioritize the people we serve.”

Key elements of the joint GLP-1 strategy include:

  • Targeted prior authorization standards designed to ensure therapy reaches those who will benefit most.
  • Real-time clinical reviews and benefit optimization powered by LucyIQ, LucyRx’s proprietary AI platform.
  • Personalized support from certified health coaches from Personify Health.
  • Menopause-specific care pathways and behavioral health support from LucyRx.
  • Structured step-down protocols to optimize long-term outcomes.

“Roughly 9% of the U.S. population is predicted to become GLP-1 users by 2030 – that’s 30 million people. The growing need for chronic condition support and increasing expectations for employer-sponsored GLP-1 benefits offerings have driven employers to rethink their approach,” said Jeffrey Jacques, MD, chief medical officer at Personify Health. “Together with LucyRx, we are providing members with meaningful wrap-around support that gives them the tools and education they need for long-lasting, healthy lifestyles – whether using a weight management medication or not.”
