Hims & Hers says that in the U.S. it accepts payments only from its customers.[1] It says separating medication from care fees allows HSA or FSA reimbursement, with eligibility set by your plan.[2] Ro’s weight loss team contacts your insurer to try to get the medication covered, and if coverage is denied you can pay cash.[4]

Ro publishes its prices: generic finasteride costs $16 a month on a 12-month plan, $18 on a 6-month plan and $20 quarterly, and generic sildenafil costs $4 per 25 mg dose, $6 per 50 mg and $10 per 100 mg.[5] Compare the same drug, dose and plan length at Hims & Hers before you sign up.
