Coby Health vs Ro

Both sell tirzepatide. Coby Health costs $239 a month and Ro costs $448, a difference of $209 a month or about $2,508 a year. Over a year that is the whole question.

Coby Health is multi-month value with supplies included. Ro is branded medication with insurance help. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though for a cash payer it usually is.
