What is Wegovy?
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a FDA-approved drug in a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s for short).
Wegovy is clinically proven to help with weight loss. In a clinical trial, people who combined Wegovy with lifestyle changes lost an average of 15% of their body weight on average in 1 year.* Learn more about Wegovy and weight loss.
How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy acts like a natural hormone your body uses to regulate blood sugar and appetite—key steps in resetting your biological set point to help you maintain a new, lower weight.
Will my insurance cover the cost?
This depends on your insurance coverage or if you pay cash.
If you’d like to use insurance, our insurance concierge will check your insurance coverage and handle all of your paperwork.
No insurance coverage or prefer to pay cash? Wegovy pens can now be shipped conveniently and directly to you from NovoCare pharmacy–for less than half the retail price.
Ro can’t help most government health plan beneficiaries get coverage for GLP-1 medications — but depending on your plan, you might have options. Those enrolled in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or TRICARE can become a Ro Body member and pay cash for select GLP-1 treatment options. Also, those who have a plan through the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) program can enroll and try their insurance or pay cash for medication. Unfortunately, those enrolled in other government health plans (e.g., Medicaid or VA) are not eligible for the Ro Body membership at this time.
*Based on study of Wegovy 2.4 mg in non-diabetics with obesity, or with overweight plus a weight-related condition, when paired with healthy lifestyle changes. Average weight loss in 1 year is 15% (compared to 2.4% with diet and exercise alone).
**Inclusive of first month offer of medication ($199) and first month membership price ($45). To be eligible for the $199 first month offer, you must not have previously received Wegovy from NovoCare Pharmacy through Ro or any other direct-to-patient offering. Medication $499 and membership $145 monthly, thereafter.
Safety info: GLP-1 medications are used to treat obesity or overweight (with weight-related problems), along with diet and exercise. They may have serious side effects, including possible thyroid tumors. Do not use if you or your family have a history of a type of thyroid cancer called MTC or MEN 2.

Getting started
Answer health questions and complete your online visit
Share your health history and weight loss goals with us online to get started. A Ro-affiliated provider will review your answers and get back to you within a few days. Depending on your health review, a provider may order a metabolic lab test before moving forward with treatment.
Provider writes an Rx (if appropriate)
After reviewing your results, your provider will determine if you’re eligible for medication. If you are, they’ll tailor a program with prescription treatment best suited to your unique biology.

If you’d prefer to pay cash or if coverage is denied, we’ll help you understand your options across our full GLP-1 suite. Zepbound vials cannot be purchased with insurance, and are cash pay only.

What are the most common Wegovy side effects?
All medications carry a risk of potential side effects. Wegovy’s side effects are typically mild and often improve within the first few weeks of treatment. When they occur, it’s usually when doses are increased, then tend to improve once a steady dose is reached. Some of the most common side effects include:
Nausea
Vomiting
Upset stomach
Stomach pains
Constipation
Diarrhea
Heartburn
Acid reflux
Belching and gas
Dizziness
Headaches
Fatigue
More severe side effects are rarer but possible. Serious side effects include:
Thyroid cancer—The FDA has issued its most serious warning (called a BOXED WARNING) that GLP-1s may be associated with a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma. So far, this side effect has primarily been seen in laboratory studies using rodents, so the risk to humans has not been determined.
Pancreatitis
Gallbladder disease
Rapid heartbeat
Severe allergy (hypersensitivity)
Low blood sugar
Vision problems (diabetic retinopathy)
Kidney disease
Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
Please see the full Prescribing Information, including the BOXED WARNING, for complete safety information.
How do I schedule a video call with my provider?
It's simple — just send a message in your provider chat requesting a video call, and your provider will send you a link to schedule a video visit.
Is weight loss about willpower? Or is diet and exercise enough?
We hear all the time that weight loss depends on willpower. And that’s just not true. Obesity is a disease, not a decision. Being overweight is about the biology of your body. There are steps that you can take to put science on your side. And we know how.
