Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

After 6 months of receiving Zepbound without issue, I was told I needed a prior authorization to refill my prescription. I messaged Ro about the situation and received no reply for days, missing my dose. Incredibly disappointed with Ro's customer service.

I downloaded the app and was offered a promotion for $45 for the first month, but after approval, I was told there was a delay in getting the medication. Now they want me to spend more on alternatives, and I haven't received a response from support in four days.

The response time at Ro is ridiculous! Just crickets! If there's a problem with refills, it takes days if not weeks to get a response. You all need to work on that, hire more support agents or do something!
