GLP The BALANCE Model directly addresses the chronic use inflation problem by requiring lifestyle interventions alongside medication. If lifestyle supports can sustain metabolic benefits after medication discontinuation, the model could demonstrate a pathway to positive net cost impact.

With Medicare negotiated prices at $245/month (82% below list), the intervention likely becomes cost-saving within 5-10 years rather than remaining inflationary through 2035.

Meta-analysis confirms GLP-1 RAs significantly increase histologic resolution of MASH, decrease liver fat deposition, improve hepatocellular ballooning, and reduce lobular inflammation.
