The Body Program helps you lose weight by pairing prescription medication with coaching and care—and tailoring it to your weight loss goals.

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. Supply update: Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Wegovy, is anticipating a supply shortage of Wegovy at 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg doses through September. Learn more here

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 Wegovy or Ozempic 

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.

In most states, you can take your lab test at a Quest location. In certain states where Quest is not available, we’ll send you an at-home blood collection kit.

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.  

Smart scale 

After your first medication refill, we’ll send you a smart scale that syncs seamlessly with your Ro account. This helps you and your team track (and celebrate!) your weight loss success.

get help finding insurance coverage for weight loss medication

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 help find a pharmacy that can fulfill your prescription.

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.

First the team will call local pharmacies, but if there isn’t one able to fulfill your prescription, they’ll search for a pharmacy to send you the medication by mail. Even when there’s a national supply chain shortage, the team won’t stop working on your behalf.

Still have questions? We have answers.

The Body Program costs $99 for your first month and $145/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?”).

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.

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.

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.
