Try to get insurance coverage
If you'd like to try to use insurance, our concierge partner connects with your insurance company to help get the cost of medication covered. Here’s how they’ll do it:
Liaise with your insurance: 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.
Explore every option: 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.
Find solutions to get you started: 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.
Varies by pharmacy
Get medication
If you’re prescribed Zepbound vials or compounded semaglutide, your medication will typically ship to you in 1-4 days. If you're prescribed a GLP-1 pen, you’ll get your prescription from your preferred pharmacy. At this point, your $145/mo membership begins and you’ll unlock all of the ongoing support you’ll need during treatment.

Weight loss FAQs
How much does the Ro Body membership cost?
The Ro Body membership costs $45 for your first month, then $145 thereafter.
Please note that the cost of GLP-1 medication is not included in the membership 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 membership. 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 your membership. Ro does not accept insurance for the Body membership, 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 membership. These plans typically do not cover the type of medication the Body membership may prescribe. Unfortunately, this means that those on Medicare or eligible for Medicare cannot join the Body membership.
Federal employees who receive their health insurance through the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHB) may participate in the Body membership.
How much does metabolic testing cost?
If your provider orders a metabolic health test, testing at any Quest location is included in the cost of the Body membership. Or you can purchase an at-home blood collection kit through Ro for $75.
If you live in a state where Quest is not available, we’ll automatically send you an at-home collection kit for no charge.
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 select from cash pay medication options or you can cancel your Body Program membership at any time.
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.
