On Oct. 18, 2025, WW International announced the launch of WeightWatchers RxFlexFund, a first‑of‑its‑kind solution that combines direct pricing from pharmaceutical manufacturers with flexible employer subsidy coverage for GLP‑1 medications. The model allows employers to cover the cost of the WeightWatchers Clinic and contribute a set percentage of medication costs, ranging from 25% to 75%, to offset GLP‑1 medication costs for employees.
Members enrolled in RxFlexFund receive the full WeightWatchers Clinic experience, including prescriptions and refills for FDA‑approved GLP‑1 drugs, obesity‑trained clinicians, a wrap‑around behavior change program, and access to registered dietitians and fitness specialists. The program is designed to improve adherence and minimize side effects, thereby maximizing health outcomes.
According to the company, annual healthcare expenses can be reduced by 20% for individuals with at least one chronic condition who lose weight and move from obesity to overweight. Clinical trial participants reported a 46% boost in work‑related quality of life, underscoring the potential productivity and cost‑savings benefits for employers.
Scott Honken, PharmD, Chief Commercial Officer, said the new model gives employers a predictable way to offer GLP‑1 access without navigating complex rebates or unpredictable add‑on expenses. Dr. Kim Boyd, Chief Medical Officer, added that RxFlexFund expands access to GLP‑1 treatment while maintaining medical responsibility and long‑term behavior change support, reinforcing WeightWatchers’ leadership in delivering improved outcomes for individuals and businesses.
