Here to protect what matters most
Created by pharmacists, RIS Rx exists to restore integrity to patient affordability.

As frontline pharmacists, Gerard Rivera and Stephen Hom experienced a painful reality at the pharmacy counter every day.
All too often, patients fell victim to a “copay surprise,” learning only at the counter that the medication they thought was fully covered by their affordability program would cost them out-of-pocket. Coverage of a copay sometimes meant the difference between starting therapy or going home empty-handed.
Later, working with pharma executives who managed billion-dollar copay budgets, Gerard and Stephen realized something shocking: the disappointment and confusion they experienced with their patients wasn’t inevitable. Copay funds often vanished into a maze of copay program rules, accumulators, maximizers, and other systemic inefficiencies.
That’s when RIS Rx – and the idea of GTN Revenue Protection – was born.
By marrying the patient experience at the pharmacy counter with the executive view of how programs are designed, RIS Rx found a better way to make sure that every patient and every brand were well served.
Today, RIS Rx is committed to bringing integrity back to affordability by protecting every patient, every dollar, every time.
