| What the price doesn’t say | $175/mo is the 12-month plan, billed as a single upfront payment of $2,094. It is the rate for the whole term, not a first-month discount. $2,094 over 12 months works out at $174.50. The $175 a month includes RxSpan MD's public STARTNOW code (10% off); without the code the 12-month plan is $194 a month (RxSpan MD does not print the upfront total without the code). Tirzepatide is $243/mo ($2,905). What is not published: no state list, no named pharmacy, no cancellation terms. | $74/mo is the Ro Body membership alone on a 12-month plan paid up front once a year; month to month it is $149/mo ($39 for the first month). Medication is billed on top, priced by dose: the Wegovy pill is $149/mo at 1.5 mg and $299/mo at 9 mg and 25 mg, so the lowest total is about $223/mo on the annual plan. |
