What you are buying

The largest telehealth platform with GLP-1 programs. Ro prescribes Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic as oral tablet, injection. It prescribes brand-name products only — the FDA-approved versions, made by the manufacturer. It ships to all 50 states.

Ro bills insurance, so what you pay depends on your plan as well as on the price below. The medication is billed separately from the programme fee. It does not publish which pharmacy fills its prescriptions.

What the medication actually costs

Context before the programme price: what a pharmacy pays to acquire the branded equivalent. Ro sets its own price on top of a compounded or branded supply.

Plans and what they cost

Every price is the lowest we can verify for that medication, normalised to one month so a prepay plan compares honestly against a monthly one.

The catch: Medication cost is separate from the $99/month program fee.

What three months really costs

A discounted first month makes a programme look cheaper than it is. This is that month plus two at the standing rate.

The safety record

Verified

We hold no FDA warning letter against Ro. That is an absence of enforcement, not a clearance — the checks above are what we can actually verify.

What does an FDA letter mean?

No letter names Ro, and a warning letter is not what most people assume it is. Our safety page shows the checks behind that answer, and what a letter does and does not mean when a programme has one.
