Digital health company Ro has launched a new online tool designed to assist patients in determining their insurance coverage for GLP-1 drugs. These medications, such as Zepbound, Wegovy, and Ozempic, are crucial for weight loss but often come with high costs. The tool, available for free, allows patients to input basic medical and insurance information to check coverage and out-of-pocket expenses. This initiative aims to expand access to these important medications by providing transparency in insurance coverage and helping patients connect to in-network care. Ro's tool also includes information on drug supply availability, aiding in decision-making for patients and healthcare providers. The service is part of RoBody's efforts to increase access to GLP-1 medications.
