Medical care

Care runs through a chat-based system with unlimited messaging to a licensed provider. There's no required video visit, which is convenient but less personal than a face-to-face appointment.

Pricing

The Ro Body membership costs $39 for the first month and $149 a month after that, or roughly $74 a month when prepaid annually. Medication is billed separately, starting around $149 a month for the starting dose of an oral GLP-1. Prices were checked in September 2026; confirm current pricing on the provider's site.

Who it's best for

People with insurance who want help finding out whether their plan covers a GLP-1, and who are comfortable handling care by message.

Our verdict

Brand-name GLP-1s only, unlimited messaging with a provider, and an insurance concierge that checks your coverage for you. A licensed clinician decides whether a GLP-1 medication is appropriate, and results vary from person to person.
