What is Ro?

Ro is one of the largest direct-to-consumer telehealth companies in the U.S., offering weight loss (GLP-1), ED, hair loss, skincare, and fertility testing through a model backed by its own pharmacy network. It does not offer primary care or prescription testosterone therapy.

Pricing and value

For weight loss, Ro charges a membership ($39 the first month, then $149 a month, or $74 a month prepaid yearly) on top of medication costs. The membership is cash-pay, but Ro can bill commercial insurance for branded GLP-1 injections, and its insurance concierge handles prior authorization. Ro says half of covered members pay $50 a month or less for Zepbound or Wegovy injections.

Who it's best for

Ro is the strongest fit for people who want a single, polished platform handling everything from prescription to pharmacy, and who value continuity of care over the lowest possible price.

What patients say

3.6 / 5

Solid mid-to-high sentiment anchored on a 3.9 Trustpilot; the main drag is pricing-transparency complaints, not care quality.
