$145/month for ongoing treatment support

The cost of medication is not included in the monthly program fee, but our insurance concierge partners will help you get the cost of medication covered.

What’s included in the Body Program?
With access to revolutionary semaglutide (GLP-1) medication, ongoing provider care, and lifestyle coaching, we set you up for long-term success by arming you with the tools you need to lose weight—and keep it off.
Ongoing provider care
You’ll have 1:1 access to a Ro-affiliated healthcare provider that you can message any time. Want to discuss your treatment plan or progress? Optional consultations via video call (up to 24/year) are included in the cost of the program.
Insurance coverage support
Getting medication covered through insurance can be a headache. Our insurance concierge partners will help to get the cost of your medication covered.
Access to GLP-1 medication, like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Saxenda
GLP-1 medication is clinically proven to help people lose weight. It works by making you feel fuller, reducing cravings, and helping your body process sugars more efficiently. (Medication cost is not included in the Body Program monthly cost.)
Metabolic test
Through a lab test, we’ll learn how your body’s working right now. Why do we do this? Because losing weight is about your body’s biology, not just your willpower.
You can use your insurance to take your lab test at a Quest location (which accepts most insurance) or purchase an at-home blood collection kit from Ro. In certain states where Quest is not available, we’ll send you an at-home blood collection kit at no extra charge.
Dedicated health coach
Your personal health coach is just a message away and is here to offer expert advice. They’ll help you get the most out of the program as well as giving encouragement and support when you need it.
Weight loss tips and strategies
Every week we’ll send you an email with expert tips and strategies on lifestyle, diet, exercise, sleep, and more. Learning these healthy habits will set you up for long-term success.
Our insurance concierge partners will work to find you coverage for medication.
Here's how they'll do it:
We know this can be a headache, so the team will take care of communicating with your insurance company. They’ll even handle the paperwork.
The team will look into the medication options that are right for you. If you get denied for one medication, they’ll look for other options that are clinically appropriate for you. And, once approved, the team will send your prescription to your preferred pharmacy.
If your insurance doesn’t cover the cost of your medication, the team will see if there are patient access programs that would help reduce your out-of-pocket cost. If you want to explore cash pay options, they’ll help you figure out the available options in your area.

Weight loss FAQs
How much does the Body membership cost?
For branded GLP-1 medication, it’s $99 for your initial health and medication consult, then a membership cost of $145/month for ongoing treatment support. Your monthly membership starts when your prescription is sent to your pharmacy.
Please note that branded GLP-1 medication is billed separately and not covered in the membership cost. Medication cost will depend on your treatment and personal insurance coverage.
However, if you’re prescribed compounded semaglutide, your first month on the Body membership will total $249, inclusive of both the medication and membership cost. After your first month, you’ll pay $299 for medication and $145 for your ongoing membership.
Do you accept insurance?
Insurance concierge services for the cost of medications are provided through the Body Program. Our partners will work directly with your insurance provider to help with the process of determining coverage for your GLP-1 medication, which is paid for separately from the Body Program. Ro does not accept insurance for the Body Program, which is cash pay only. At this time, those with any form of government healthcare coverage (including programs such as Medicare, Medicare Supplement Plans, Medicaid or TRICARE), whether primary or secondary, are not eligible for the Body Program. These plans typically do not cover the type of medication the Body Program may prescribe. Unfortunately, this means that those on Medicare or eligible for Medicare cannot join the Body Program.
Federal employees who receive their health insurance through the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHB) may participate in the Body Program.
What if my insurance doesn’t cover the medication?
If for some reason your insurance will not cover the cost of your medication, you’ll have the option to either pay for the medication out of pocket (typically $900–$1,600/month, depending on the medication) or cancel your Body Program membership. Given the cost of initial diagnostics, ongoing provider support, and insurance assistance, we are unable to offer refunds for previously incurred monthly membership fees.
What can I expect after I sign up?
After you complete your online visit, a Ro-affiliated healthcare provider will review your answers and determine whether treatment may be right for you. Depending on your health review, your provider may ask you to take a metabolic lab test. If appropriate, your provider will discuss GLP-1 medication options and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
When is a metabolic lab test needed?
Depending on your health review, your provider may ask you to take a metabolic lab test. The test looks at your hormones and metabolism to understand how your body works right now.
Your provider will also consider whether a lab test may help with insurance coverage for the medication. Some plans may require one as part of the prior authorization process to determine medication cost coverage.
A metabolic lab test at Quest is included in your membership fee. You can take your test in person at any Quest location. If you'd prefer to take your test from the comfort and privacy of your home, you can purchase an at-home blood collection kit through Ro for an additional cost.
If you live in a state where Quest is unavailable, we'll automatically send you a collection kit at no extra charge.
