Canadian Employer Plans Covering GLP-1s for Weight Loss Have Nearly Doubled Data from the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP) 2025 Pulse Survey shows a significant shift in Canadian employer attitudes toward GLP-1 coverage: 31% of employer plans now cover GLP-1s for weight loss (up from 17% in 2024) 56% cover for diabetes only (down from 66% in 2024) 20% of diabetes-only plans are considering adding obesity coverage Provincial public drug plans still cover semaglutide only for type 2 diabetes not for weight loss
Sadly, the latter receive most of the attention, while the former get lost in the shuffle
GLP-1 drugs can support these efforts, but theyre not a replacement for healthy habits
Whilst GLP-1 medications are often used long-term, particularly for diabetes management, they're not necessarily lifelong for everyone
