How do I get reimbursed for On/Go tests I purchased through Ro?
When submitting a claim to your private insurance company for reimbursement, you will likely be required to submit a few pieces of information like proof of purchase and the number of tests ordered. Here’s what you need to do:
- Visit your insurance company’s website or call their member services phone number to find out how to submit a claim for reimbursement.
- If you need a detailed receipt for reimbursement, e-mail care@ro.co or call a member of our Customer Care team at 424-347-6299. You’ll have an electronic Ro reimbursement receipt emailed within 24 hours.
Please note
Since this is a new program, the guidelines for reimbursement may vary from one insurance company to another and may change over time. Please consult with your insurance provider about reimbursement options before purchasing.
As of this time, Medicare, Medicare Supplement, and Medicaid don’t reimburse for over-the-counter COVID-19 tests.
