A ROI framework for obesity treatment

Taking a science-based, measured approach to clinical obesity treatment helps patients achieve life-changing weight loss and improved health while also delivering a compelling return on investment (ROI) for employers and health plans.

When calculating ROI, there are three areas of savings to consider:

• Rx Spend Optimization: Strategically managing medication costs by matching the most appropriate and cost-effective treatment to the patient's disease severity.  
• Direct Medical Cost Savings: Weight loss and improved health lead to reduced incidence of chronic diseases and decreased utilization of expensive medical services. Individuals with obesity incur 2x higher annual medical costs compared to those without obesity.  
• Indirect Cost Savings: Addressing these conditions improves workplace productivity by reducing disability claims, workers' compensation costs, absenteeism, and presenteeism. Individuals with obesity experience 1.7-2.4x higher indirect costs compared to those without obesity.
