Yes. Telemedicine is safe and effective—as long as patients answer questions truthfully, accurately, and completely. It’s also important that you only upload pictures of yourself and your ID (not someone else), and that you take those pictures during the online doctor visit. Doctors are only effective when they have accurate and current information about your case—both in telemedicine and in-person visits. Physicians on the Ro platform depend solely on the information you provide during your visit and via secure chat, phone, or video. They have no way of externally verifying the information you provide. In addition, if prescribed medicine, it’s necessary to read the personalized treatment plan created by your doctor before taking any medication. Only by reading this information in its entirety and fully understanding the content can you adequately weigh the risks and benefits of the treatment.

After your online visit a doctor will complete their initial review of your medical history within 2 hours during business hours and within 24 hours during non-business hours. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please email care@ro.co and we’ll take care of it.

Zero by Ro is a complement to—not a replacement of—your primary care physician (PCP).

It depends. Certain states require a video chat with your doctor. After your initial online doctor visit, a physician will reach out with the appropriate next steps.
