In context

“and your thoughts on access side given that you are probably have done the negotiations at this point? Joe Fletcher: Thanks, Mohit. I'll hand over to Patrik to talk about maybe access updates and go forward. Patrik Jonsson: Yes. Maybe just a few comments on Mounjaro. Prior to moving into Zepbound, I think with Mounjaro, we have really good access and it's 93% and I think pretty much where we need to be across commercial and Medicare. In terms of Zepbound, I think we've made progress in record time here, close to 90% commercial access and we continue to see improvement in terms of employers opting. You're correct, we heard stories about some employers opting out, but the major trend is actually in favor of opting-in to the anti-obesity medications.

So I think we are very, very optimistic in that part of our business, but we're also continuing to make progress in terms of access for Medicaid. And just since we connected last time, we have gained six incremental states for Medicaid and most recently effective 10-1, we have California and Massachusetts.
