I did not order anything from this company and I definitely did not subscribe. I am a woman I would have absolutely no use for anything that was male related. I think that my account was used by somebody else and would appreciate it if I could get a refund.Business response

Ro is taking people's money for a "medical check up" that consists of a questionnaire and then not providing refunds for prescriptions never provided. The questionnaire is clearly being processed by AI or a computer system, where there is no actual medical provider involved. Hypothetical considerations are made and then pharmaceuticals are prescribed through an automatic process. There is a menu to pick which pharmaceutical and then you are told there is a backup and medicine is never received or sent. Customer's money is taken and there is no way to get a refund, no one to call and no response.Business response

Hi ******,
This is *******, a supervisor from the Ro Care team.
I'm sorry for any confusion regarding the Body Program and services included. Please rest assured, the online visit that you submit are reviewed by Board Certified Physicians. You can find your physician's name within your My Ro account and messages, as they will communicate with you there regarding your treatment.
While you can select a medication preference, your provider will determine the appropriate medication based on your responses. We also consider the availability of each medication, as branded medications are currently affected by a nationwide shortage, so we want to outline all options available to you.
However, I can confirm your subscription has been canceled and you will not be billed any further. Our team has also issued a refund for the $99 on 6/11. Please allow 5-10 business days for the refund to reflect in your financial statement. Youll receive a separate email with a receipt for your records as well!
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns by emailing us at ******************************.
Best,
*******

The Get Started ad states: the ****1 medication would be included, and the prescription would be sent to the pharmacy. Then I was charged $147.00 on May 30 and had not received the first round of medication until June 4th. I asked to use my insurance for medication when I first enrolled on May 14. Then sent the info again May 26th. I called, the RO company in NY several times, but they only communicate via chat and the system forces you to enter credit card information after you answer the questions to get your prescription. I request a refund, Cancel my account and have asked them not to charge my account. They sent the following in a message: Please note that cost of ****1 medication is not included in the consultation or program fees.Business response

Hi ****,
This is Klaudia, a supervisor from the Ro Care team. We appreciate your interest in speaking over the phone. Due to a high volume of inquiries, we are currently managing communication primarily through email to ensure a timely and organized response to all our valued customers. Rest assured, we are committed to addressing your concerns promptly and efficiently.
I apologize for any confusion regarding our Body Program costs! To clarify, medication costs is not included in our program. This is outlined on our website before completing the online visit as well as during the questionnaire. While a prescription may written (if deemed appropriate), medication costs are billed separately.
I see that you were billed $149 for your prescription order. While we typically do not offer refunds for medications already shipped, I am happy to issue a full refund for the $149. However, I note that you have disputed this charge. I am unable to issue refunds that have been disputed, so we kindly ask that you close the dispute and we may process the refund! Otherwise, you can wait for the dispute to finalize and may receive your refund this way.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
*******

I entered into ro's weight loss problem for 150 a month. I did my labs and then was told I could purchase my medicine for 1k a month and may not get it for months while being charged 150 a month for no service. I wasn't told that the medicine was separate from the program until after the labs. It's advertised as the monthly membership is all you pay until later in the progress. There's zero customer support.Business response

For the past six months I have been a customer of **********************. Within these past six months I have had no results, despite their website advertising that progress would been seen within these six months. I have reached out to the doctor on staff who raised the dosage, still not results. I feel that this issue is a matter of false advertising. As well, on their website I cancelled my subscription, however they still charged me. It was finally cancelled when I reached out to customer service. I'm filing this complaint as I would like my money back, with the lack of results it is almost like I've been given placebos.Business response

Hello *****. Due to the clinical nature of your experience, the best thing would be to speak with a Ro affiliated provider. It doesn't look like you've interacted with a provider since 2023.

I signed up with ro.co expecting to receive medication for a monthly price. After signing up and being charged I then find out that the recurring payment is only for a membership and not for the medication. Medication is separate and grossly expensive; not to mention several months on back order. While waiting for medication I would be charged several times over for services not rendered. This information should be disclosed prior to being allowed to be signed up and charged. Buyer beware. Also, you arent allowed to call customer service and speak to anyone. Literally. Anyone. The number says so ************* / ************). I cancelled my membership same day I signed up. I requested a refund via email at ******************************Business response

I was offered to be on a semiglutide by Ro for $145 a month. I signed up and paid and did my labs. I spoke with the nurse practitioner and she told me that she was just sending the prescription in and I would have to be put on a waitlist if the pharmacy doesnt have it in stock. I didnt want to pay $145 a month to sit on a waitlist so I asked for a refund and cancellation. I was told I would not get a refund because all sales are final even though I havent been sold anything. I would like my $100 back, they can keep the $50 they charged me for the at home labs.Business response
