Getting started with Ro
Once you complete your online consultation, a licensed provider will review your medical history and information to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you. You can typically expect to hear back within 2-3 days.
If prescribed, you'll receive guidance through your Ro account, where you can message your care team, complete follow-up visits, and manage your treatment over time.
Your Ro Body membership includes clinically guided weight loss care, with provider support, monthly check-ins, health coaching, insurance concierge support, side effect support, app-based tools, and metabolic lab testing if requested by your provider.

How does pricing work?
There are two separate costs to keep in mind: your Ro Body membership and your medication. These are billed separately.
Your first month is $39, which includes your initial online consultation and any lab testing requested by your provider. You won't be charged for an ongoing membership unless you decide to move forward with treatment.
After that, you can choose from several membership options:
Membership:
| Plan | Cost | Equivalent Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|
| First month | $39 | $39 |
| Monthly | $149/month | $149/month |
| 3-month plan | $297 every 3 months | $99/month |
| 6-month plan | $534 every 6 months | $89/month |
| 12-month plan | $888 every 12 months | $74/month |
Medication is not included in the Ro Body membership and is billed separately. What you pay depends on the medication you're prescribed, your dose, and whether you're using insurance or paying cash.
Medication cost:
| Medication | Cash-pay pricing |
|---|---|
| Wegovy pill | $149/month for the first two months at 1.5 mg and 4 mg; then $299/month at 9 mg and 25 mg |
| Wegovy pen | $199/month for the first two months at 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg; then $349/month for 0.25-2.4mg doses and $399/month for the 7.2mg dose. |
| Zepbound KwikPen | $299/month at 2.5 mg; $399/month at 5 mg; $449/month for 7.5 mg to 15 mg with the LillyDirect manufacturer offer |
| Foundayo | $149/month at 0.8 mg; $199/month at 2.5 mg; $299/month at 5.5 mg and 9 mg; and $299/month at 14.5 mg and 17.2 mg with the manufacturer offer |
Not everyone increases to the highest dose or stays there long term. Your treatment plan is personalized based on your goals, progress, and provider guidance.
With insurance coverage, your cost usually depends on your monthly copay, which is typically less than $100/month.
Need help? Here's how to message your Provider and Care Team
If you have questions about your treatment, billing, shipments, or account, you can send a secure message directly from your Ro account:
In the app or web browser:
- Go to Support
- Open your latest message thread
- Hit “Start a new conversation”
- Scroll down → “I need help with something else”
- Then “I still need help” → select the treatment your request is related to
- Then "I still need help", this opens a message box
Other ways:
- Email: care@ro.co
- Or use the support form: LINK
Response times can vary based on message volume, but you'll typically hear back within the same day to 3 days.
When should I complete my refill visit?
If your refill visit appears before you've finished your current medication, that's normal. Follow-up visits are scheduled based on your prescription and when your previous shipment was processed.
For most members who are still adjusting their dose, refill visits happen monthly. You'll receive a notification by text, email, or in your Ro account when it's time to complete yours.
Even if you've prepaid for multiple months of medication, you'll still need to complete refill visits based on your prescription schedule. Completing them promptly helps your provider review your progress and can help prevent delays with your next shipment.
Have more questions about refills? Check out our Help Center here for more information on refill timing, follow-up visits, and your next shipment.
When will my medication ship?
If your medication is shipped through Ro or one of our partner pharmacies, most GLP-1 orders are processed and shipped within about a week, excluding weekends.
Once shipped:
- GLP-1 pens: typically arrive within 1-2 days using temperature-controlled shipping
- GLP-1 pills: typically arrive within 2-5 days
- You'll receive tracking information by email and in your Ro account
If your order says “processing,” the pharmacy is usually preparing it, which typically takes 1-4 days.
If your prescription was sent to a local pharmacy, timing will depend on that pharmacy's stock.
Still have questions about shipping or delivery? Check out our Help Center here for more information on tracking, delivery, and order status or ask your question on the shipping/refill thread that is pinned weekly on this sub.
