Through Ro’s platform, eligible patients can receive prescriptions during telehealth visits and have the medication shipped directly to their homes. 

This integration with LillyDirect, Lilly’s direct-to-consumer platform, allows patients to pay out of pocket for the medication. The 2.5-milligram and 5-milligram vials are priced at $399 and $549, respectively, for a four-week supply.

LillyDirect also offers home delivery services for Zepbound through Gifthealth, a third-party digital pharmacy, according to CNBC.
