How Ro helps you lose weight
You’ve seen the ro.co TV spot—now it’s time to get on Ro in the real world. Whether you want to check your insurance coverage or prefer to pay cash, we can help. If you're eligible for medication, we take care of any paperwork and back-and-forth so you can focus on your health goals.
Start losing weight in 5 simple steps
1. Start your online visit
Answer a few questions about your health and goals, all online—no in-person doctor’s office visit necessary. You’ll find out if you’re eligible within 2 days.
2. Provider writes an Rx (if appropriate)
A provider will review your info and prescribe the right GLP-1 treatment for you, if eligible. Get ready for your first dose in less than a week if paying cash, and 1-2 weeks if using insurance.
3. Check your insurance coverage
Ro checks your insurance to see if GLP-1 coverage is available. If you require prior authorization, Ro's insurance concierge fights for coverage and submits all paperwork on your behalf. If you're covered, a prescription is sent to your pharmacy. If not, your provider will suggest alternative FDA-approved cash pay GLP-1 options. This process takes about 1-2 weeks.
4. Start your treatment
If paying cash, your medication ships right to your door and you can take your first dose in less than a week. If using insurance, your medication can be picked up at your pharmacy.
5. Get support to stay on track
Keep making progress with regular check-ins, expert guidance, and access to your care team 24/7. Ongoing care and support is there for you when you need it—whether it’s a quick chat with your provider or routine check-ins, we’re with you every step of the way.

Weight loss FAQs
How much does the Ro Body membership cost?
The Ro Body membership costs $39 for your first month. Then your ongoing membership is as low as $74/month when you prepay for an annual plan.
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 Ro 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 the Body membership. Ro does not accept insurance for the Body membership, which is cash pay only.
Ro can’t help most government health plan beneficiaries get coverage for GLP-1 medications — but depending on your plan, you might have options. Those enrolled in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or TRICARE can become a Ro Body member and pay cash for select GLP-1 treatment options. Also, those who have a plan through the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) program can enroll and try their insurance or pay cash for medication. Unfortunately, those enrolled in other government health plans (e.g., Medicaid or VA) are not eligible for the Ro Body membership at this time.
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 Ro Body 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 an insurance eligibility lab test to help with coverage. If appropriate, your provider will discuss GLP-1 medication options and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
What are the side effects of GLP-1s?
Ro-affiliated providers may prescribe a GLP-1 medication called semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Zepbound). The most common side effects of all the medications typically resolve within the first few weeks of treatment.
Some of the most common side effects of semaglutide are:
Nausea
Vomiting
Upset stomach
Stomach pains
Constipation
Diarrhea
Heartburn
Acid reflux
Belching and gas
Dizziness
Headaches
Fatigue
Some of the most common side effects of tirzepatide are:

Constipation
Stomach pains
Upset stomach
Indigestion
Injection-site reactions
Fatigue

More severe side effects are rarer, but possible. Serious side effects include:
Thyroid cancer—The FDA has issued its most serious warning (called a BOXED WARNING) that GLP-1s like semaglutide may be associated with a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). So far, this side effect has only been seen in laboratory studies using rodents, so the risk to humans has not been determined. Semaglutide is contraindicated in patients with a family history of MTC or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Pancreatitis
Gallbladder disease
Low blood sugar
Kidney disease
Severe allergy (hypersensitivity)
Vision problems (diabetic retinopathy)
