About The Study: In this cohort study, 40% of orders for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) were not filled. Non-Hispanic Black patients and Hispanic patients were less likely to fill orders than non-Hispanic white patients, and the non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic patients who filled their orders paid lower out-of-pocket costs. Out-of-pocket differences across groups may stem from differences in insurance coverage, use of different GLP-1RAs, or different cost thresholds for forgoing GLP-1RAs.
