TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2024 /CNW/ - 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."
