A first-of-its-kind integration means patients never have to leave the Ro app to get the most affordable, FDA-approved GLP-1 medication from Novo Nordisk shipped directly to their door
April 29, 2025 -- Ro today announced an integration with NovoCare® Pharmacy to provide seamless access to all doses of Wegovy® at the best available cash price of $499 per month. By working directly with Novo Nordisk’s direct-to-patient option NovoCare® Pharmacy, Ro ensures patients have a reliable supply of FDA-approved GLP-1 medication directly from the manufacturer. With Ro’s streamlined experience, patients can consult with a provider and get access to effective GLP-1 medication at the lowest cash price, without ever having to leave the Ro app.
"Fighting for patients means making it as easy and affordable as possible to access high-quality treatment, and that's exactly what integrating with NovoCare® Pharmacy offers patients," said Zach Reitano, co-founder and CEO of Ro. "Adding Novo Nordisk's FDA-approved treatments at the best available cash price will help more patients nationwide get the obesity care they need to achieve their goals, particularly those without insurance coverage."

This integration adds to Ro's obesity care formulary, already one the most comprehensive of any telehealth company, integrating cash pay and insurance eligible options that can be picked up at a retail pharmacy or delivered.
