A Personalized Approach to Obesity Treatment Addressing obesity requires individualized care. Dr. Katherine H. Saunders, an obesity expert and Co-Founder of Intellihealth, emphasizes the complexity of obesity and the need for tailored treatment plans. "Obesity is a complex, multifactorial, relapsing chronic disease," she notes. "There's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to the heterogeneous disease of obesity. We use all the tools in our armamentarium to provide the highest level of evidence-based obesity care." Join us in advocating for comprehensive coverage of anti-obesity medications. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those battling obesity. Read the white paper here: https://lnkd.in/ecdnBZYE #HealthEquity #ObesityCare #PersonalizedMedicine

Transforming the Narrative on Obesity Treatment Costs Sensationalized projections about Medicare costs for anti-obesity drugs often overlook critical factors. A recent study challenges these assumptions, offering a realistic perspective on the fiscal implications of AOM Medicare coverage. By applying alternative assumptions grounded in current marketing conditions and health economics literature, it demonstrates the potential for significant cost reductions. "After accounting for existing GLP-1 use for diabetes and other adjustments, 3.2% of beneficiaries will be prescribed an AOM specifically for obesity in a given year," noted our findings. "This analysis suggests Medicare spending levels between $1.9 and $2.7 billion per year on incremental AOM coverage, which equals 1.0% to 1.6% of forecasted Medicare prescription drug spending."

Equitable Obesity Treatment Coverage At Currax, it is our mission that individuals living with obesity deserve equitable access to medications that effectively treat their condition. Yet, unlike other disease states, obesity has been left behind in the realm of insurance coverage for FDA-approved treatment options. As Congress contemplates the impactful Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA), it's crucial that the financial analysis accurately reflects the landscape of anti-obesity medication (AOM) costs and treatments. A groundbreaking paper published by Intensity, a distinguished economic, finance, and data science firm, shows there is an affordable path to obesity treatment coverage. The paper was funded by Currax. The findings of this study are detailed in the paper, "How much will covering anti-obesity drugs cost Medicare? Accounting for commonly overlooked effects".

New reserach has been found on how the gut microbiome influences obesity onset differently in men and women. New findings, to be presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Venice, Italy (12-15 May), shed light on changes in gut bacteria composition that play a pivotal role in obesity development. With differences observed between men and women, these insights could impact the metabolism of various nutrients and the presence of bioactive molecules in the gut, influencing the development of metabolic diseases.
