Vitable Health, the leading all-in-one health benefits platform redefining care for the American workforce, announced the launch of its GLP-1-based weight management services and comprehensive preventative lab panels, now available through its fully integrated Direct Primary Care (DPC) services.
As the GLP-1 boom continues, many platforms and compounding pharmacies are rushing to capitalize on demand through direct-to-consumer, prescription-first apps. Vitable Health is one of the first to bring GLP-1 medications into a primary care-first model specifically designed for the American workforce.
Vitable Health is challenging the prescription-first model with a safer, longitudinal approach designed to integrate GLP-1s into whole-person care. Vitable Health’s GLP-1 program is built around ongoing support, including unlimited primary care visits, access to labs and prescriptions, mental health coaching, and chronic condition management. It also follows evidence-based protocols that deliver personalized care, reduce risks, and support sustained weight management. This foundation ensures that members receive steady clinical oversight, behavioral support, and individualized care before, during, and after treatment.
Each member’s journey begins with evidence-based screening, including a full evaluation of health history, labs, and BMI-related eligibility. For those who qualify, the program includes:
- Clinical screening for underlying conditions and health risks
- Comprehensive lab panels to guide safe prescribing
- Ongoing monitoring of progress and side effects
- Personalized plans for off-ramping and weight maintenance
- Behavioral support, lifestyle coaching, and care navigation
This primary care-first model sets Vitable Health apart from restrictive traditional group plans and from direct-to-consumer platforms, med spas, online prescription mills, and fragmented telehealth platforms that often deliver GLP-1s without long-term care or follow-up. Vitable Health's inclusion of its new GLP-1 and comprehensive labs programs into its baseline high-touch DPC offering uniquely positions them to drive proactive care for employees, which minimizes their downstream out-of-pocket costs. In turn, their self-insured employer partners stand to save money on healthcare claims and boost employee retention through accessible, high-value care.
“GLP-1s are a powerful tool, but they’re not a one-size-fits-all solution,” said Joseph Kitonga, CEO and founder of Vitable Health. “We built our program to prioritize safety, education, and long-term outcomes—not just a prescription-first approach. That’s only possible when GLP-1s are delivered through a trusted, ongoing relationship with a primary care provider.”
Vitable Health has also expanded its services to include coverage for comprehensive preventative lab panels, giving members access to a high-value, clinician-guided diagnostic tool tailored to help working Americans proactively manage their health. The baseline panel includes approximately 100 core tests, with optional add-ons that span every major organ system. Built for accessibility and actionability, the panel supports early detection of chronic conditions, long-term health planning, and personalized interventions at a highly competitive market price.
Every lab is reviewed by a Vitable Health clinician who follows up with members to explain results, answer questions, and design an evidence-based care plan that may include lifestyle changes, medication, referrals, or additional testing as appropriate.
“Too often, the people who work the hardest and carry the most weight in our communities are the ones with the least access to meaningful healthcare,” said Kitonga. “We’re not here to chase trends—we’re here to close the healthcare gap. These new services reflect our commitment to providing people with real tools, real support, and real care that can change the course of their health and lives. That’s what our work is about.”
All of Vitable Health’s benefit options, including its Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) plans, come standard with its Direct Primary Care, helping employers offer care that people actually want and will use. The new GLP-1 and lab offerings are available exclusively to members through employers that partner with Vitable Health to provide healthcare to their workforce.
“Through Vitable’s platform, over 100,000 lives are now eligible for access to life-changing medications that are often inaccessible under traditional group health plans. We aim to help members take real control of their health with the support and care they deserve,” said Kitonga.
The launch of GLP-1 access and comprehensive lab coverage marks another step forward in Vitable Health’s mission to deliver better health benefits to those most often left behind by traditional insurance models.
