Teladoc Health, Inc. TDOC recently announced that it is expanding access to clinically responsible weight management treatments by integrating with Eli Lilly’s LillyDirect pharmacy partner, Gifthealth. This strategic move is set to benefit Teladoc’s Comprehensive Weight Care, as it enhances accessibility to FDA-approved Zepbound for eligible members seeking effective weight management solutions.

The integration will streamline the prescription, fulfillment, and delivery process for Teladoc’s members who are prescribed Zepbound for obesity. With direct access to LillyDirect, members without insurance coverage for GLP-1 medications can now receive affordable and reliable weight management treatments at home. This offering is expected to drive higher patient engagement and sustained outcomes, supporting Teladoc’s mission to deliver evidence-based and affordable care.

Teladoc’s Comprehensive Weight Care program already offers multidisciplinary support, including personalized lifestyle coaching, mental health support, and access to registered dietitians. Adding seamless access to Zepbound strengthens the program’s value proposition and eliminates major barriers to accessing FDA-approved medications. This move will not only improve health outcomes but also boost member retention and engagement within the weight care segment.

By capitalizing on the growing demand for GLP-1 medications and offering end-to-end support for weight management, Teladoc is poised to strengthen its market position in the obesity care space. This strategic partnership is expected to contribute positively to the company’s overall growth trajectory and improve health outcomes for members nationwide. Revenues in the Integrated Care segment are expected to witness 0-3% year-over-year growth in 2025.
