TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Newtopia Inc. ("Newtopia" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEWU) (OTCQB: NEWUF), a tech-enabled habit change provider focused on preventing, slowing, and reversing metabolic disease, is pleased to announce a new Framework Agreement with a supplemental insurance payvider ("Payvider") to offer its proven habit change platform to thousands of U.S. workers as a fully-covered benefit starting in 2025.
This exciting new partnership exposes the company to an entirely new channel of business in supplemental insurance with a Payvider that is consistent with Newtopia's own mission, dedicated to cultivating whole health and wellbeing in its members. The Payvider's platform already serves some of US industry's largest employers, which, together, represent millions of workers. As a fully-covered benefit on the platform, Newtopia will provide its best-in-class habit change platform, combining personalized coaching, nutrition, exercise and mental & emotional well-being support, to the approximately 50% of plan members at risk of metabolic disease, with no out-of-pocket costs to the individuals served. Plan members will also have access to Newtopia's rapidly growing GLP-1 companion offerings, GLP-1 Ally and GLP-1 Sustain, which are designed to help individuals taking GLP-1 medications maintain their clinically significant weight loss and healthier lifestyles – even when they transition off of the medication entirely.
"We are delighted to work with this innovative supplemental insurance payvider to prevent, reverse and slow chronic metabolic disease at scale," said Jeff Ruby, Founder and CEO of Newtopia. "This partnership reflects a win for our diversified growth strategy of selling to employers, payers and value-based providers, and, based on Newtopia's historic success with enrolling up to 5% of at-risk individuals, it has the potential to meaningfully accelerate our progress toward cash flow positivity and profitability in 2025."
