There's a reason everyone is talking about GLP-1s.
On average, people on Saxenda or Wegovy lose 9–15% of their weight in a year.*
*In a 56 and 68 week clinical trial studying Saxenda and Wegovy for obesity (BMI ≥30) and overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least one weight-related condition, non-diabetics who completed the trials lost an average of 9 and 15% of their body weight when paired with diet and exercise (compared to 3.5% and 2.4%, respectively, on diet and exercise alone).

As an alternative to FDA-approved branded products, where appropriate, a provider may prescribe a compounded drug, which is prepared by a state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacy partner. Although compounded drugs are permitted to be prescribed under federal law, they are not FDA-approved and do not undergo safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review.
*Patients without diabetes but with a BMI of ≥30, or ≥27 with comorbidities, lost an average of 15% of their body weight in 1 year in a 68-week clinical trial evaluating 2.4 mg semaglutide, when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How it works
We help you lose weight by pairing revolutionary medication with coaching, care, and healthy lifestyle changes to make it last.
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.
If you’re a good fit for the program, your provider will order a metabolic lab test. The test will help you understand how your body’s working right now.
You can use your insurance to test at any Quest location (most insurance accepted), or purchase an at-home blood collection kit through Ro for an additional cost.
If you live in a state where Quest is not available, we’ll automatically send you an at-home collection kit for no charge. Read more.
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 a medication is prescribed that can be covered by insurance, our concierge partner connects with your insurance company to help get the cost of medication covered. If coverage is denied, we'll help you understand your options, including paying cash.
We’ll send your prescription to your preferred pharmacy to be filled. At this point, your $145/mo membership begins and you’ll unlock all of the ongoing support you’ll need during treatment.
Please note that due to GLP-1 shortages, you may experience a wait. Know we're doing everything we can to get medication to you quickly. Learn more.
You’ll have everything you need during treatment, including on-demand provider access, medication management, and ongoing refill support.

Still have questions? We have answers.
How much does the Body Program cost?
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 GLP-1 medication is billed separately and not covered in the program cost. Medication cost will depend on your treatment and personal insurance coverage.
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, or federal employee plans 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.
How much will metabolic testing cost?
Metabolic testing is required to participate in the program. It allows your provider to understand your metabolism to create a treatment plan that’s appropriate for you. Your provider will look at the following analytes: Hemoglobin, TSH, LDL Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Total Cholesterol, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine, and Triglycerides.
Depending on how you choose to take your metabolic test, the price will vary.
You can use your insurance to test at any Quest location. Quest is in-network with most major insurers, but out-of-pocket costs will vary based on your insurance plan and deductible. Contact your insurance company to understand your coverage. If you test at Quest without using your insurance, the cash pay price is around $520.
You can also purchase an at-home blood collection kit through Ro for $75.
If you live in a state where Quest is not available (ND, SD, WY), we’ll automatically send you an at-home collection kit for no charge.
Is compounded semaglutide offered in my state?
Compounded semaglutide through Ro is available in 37 states. It’s not currently offered in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.
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.
