Insurance does not cover the membership, and Ro says it does not accept HSA or FSA cards. Its insurance team works to get your medication covered where your plan allows.

03Getting started
How to get started with Ro
Complete your online visit
Answer questions about your health, your weight history and your goals. Your first month of membership is $39, refunded if you are not eligible.
Get a clinician's review
A clinician licensed in your state reviews your answers, and Ro says you find out within two days. They may ask for lab work, which your membership covers if it is needed.
Get covered, or pay cash
With coverage, Ro's insurance team files the prior authorization (the approval your plan needs before it pays), which Ro says takes about two to three weeks. Paying cash, you can start sooner.
