The new weight-loss option will cut what the plan sponsors pay as well as what the patients pay, Cigna’s PBM Evernorth says.

Cigna will cap out-of-pocket costs at $200 per month for patients using the weight-loss drugs Wegovy and Zepbound through an add-on to its pharmacy benefit management plans, the company announced on Wednesday.

Cigna's pharmacy benefits company, Evernorth, reached pricing deals with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to reduce expenses and provide wider employer access to GLP-1 weight-loss treatments Wegovy and Zepbound.
