Aon invests in eMed
Aon announced a strategic investment in eMed Population Health, Inc., “an emerging leader” in the delivery of GLP-1 programs.
The investment follows the launch earlier this year of Aon’s subsidized GLP-1 weight management benefit program for its U.S. workforce – developed by eMed – which has delivered strong adherence, high retention and sustainable results for the firm’s colleagues. In the sixth months since Aon’s program launched, more than 1,200 people have registered and the firm has seen an average of 22.4 pounds lost with a retention rate of 95 percent.
With this investment, eMed will continue to increase distribution of its digital-first healthcare platform — which combines at-home diagnostics, proctor-led screenings, clinician-guided prescribing, and continuous adherence support—to reach more employers and patients.
“As the leader of Aon’s People Organization, I know how important it’s been to include GLP-1 coverage as part of our own U.S. Total Rewards strategy. When you see the benefits it brings to people you work with every day, it really underscores how the decisions employers make today shape the future health and performance of our workforces and our businesses. This strategic investment in eMed enables our firm to have an active role in offering a global solution that is focused on medication adherence that will be differentiated in the marketplace in helping employers reduce long-term health costs while improving the quality of life for their people. By aligning innovation with behavior change and accountability, together we can deliver sustainable results at scale.” – Lisa Stevens, Chief Administrative Officer for Aon.
“Today marks a game-changing partnership between Aon and eMed and is a win for both payers and participants. Our shared vision of market transformation is validated and accelerated by the investment from Aon. This strategic investment in eMed further enables our firm to play an active role in offering a differentiated global solution focused on medication adherence – helping employers reduce long-term health costs while improving quality of life for their people.” – Linda Yaccarino, CEO of eMed Population Health, Inc.
