A weight loss program that actually works

The Body Program costs $99 for your first month and $135/month thereafter. Please note that GLP-1 medication is billed separately and not covered in the program cost. Medication cost will depend on your personal insurance coverage, and our partners will work with your insurer to help determine coverage (see more about this in “Do you accept insurance?”).

Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Wegovy, anticipates that many patients will have difficulty filling Wegovy prescriptions at the lower doses of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg and 1 mg through September 2023. In response, we’re taking additional steps to support new and existing patients on their weight loss journeys. For example, your Ro-affiliated provider may explore prescribing alternate GLP-1 medications for you, if appropriate. Our insurance concierge partner also frequently contacts pharmacies to look for available medication on your behalf.

The first steps for new patients in the Body Program are unaffected by the Wegovy supply shortage — including taking a metabolic lab test and connecting with a provider to review your health history. If your provider ultimately determines Wegovy is right for you, the sooner you join the program, the sooner our team can get to work trying to find medication in stock at a pharmacy near you.

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, Medicaid or TRICARE), whether primary or secondary, government-related coverage such as Medicare Supplement Plans, 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.

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.

After you complete your online visit, a Ro-affiliated healthcare provider will review your answers and determine whether treatment may be right for you. If appropriate, we’ll ask you to complete a metabolic test so we can see how your body’s working right now. Next, you’ll go over the results of your test with your healthcare provider and discuss a personalized treatment plan.
