Depending on your insurance coverage, medications and lab tests may have a small co-pay. For some people, there is zero cost at all. One of our care team members can review what your insurance covers with you on a free 15-minute call if you're unsure about being able to join.

Riva offers an annual or monthly subscription. The annual subscription is $250 a year, the monthly subscription is $25 a month plus a $100 set up fee.

Over 95% of people on the program reached their blood pressure goal, and the average person did so in under 3 weeks. That said, it could take you a little longer. Cholesterol tends to improve quickly on the right medications, though a lab test is required to measure these, so the timeframe to assess can vary. Everyone's health is different, so your care team will set the right expectations for you based on your unique health situation and history.

Most importantly, you should expect to have a great experience and feel like your care team is really there for you.

If you have high blood pressure or cholesterol, getting these to a healthy range can add several years to your life (up to 7 in previous studies). Maintaining a healthy heart can also reduce your risk of heart attack, heart failure, or stroke by 50% or more. The specific amount you'll benefit will vary based on your starting point, overall health situation, and other factors. Your doctor can help you understand what to expect while taking your personal situation into account.

While this varies based on individual needs, your care team will typically involve:
‍
• A concierge cardiologist or cardiology-specialized nurse practitioner (similar to a doctor)
• A pharmacist specialized in heart health, cholesterol, and weight loss medications
• A health coach, who will have a background in nutrition, fitness, psychology, and similar expertise

You can send a message to your care team anytime, 24/7. Someone will generally respond within 24 hours during the work week.

You'll have a video call with each care team member early in your experience, typically two weeks of starting with Riva. During the program, you should expect a message almost every day from your coach. You can work out a schedule with your care team, but calls with your coach every 1 or 2 weeks is normal while you're working on your goal.

After hitting your goal, you will have calls as often as you and your coach align on.Calls with your concierge doctor, nurse practitioner, or pharmacist are usually only required for when you are starting a new medication (or making changes to your care plan).Messaging your care team is not appropriate for medical emergencies, and for that scenario, you should always call 911 immediately.

The vast majority of people on the program reach their health goals and report having a great experience with their care team. If you give the program a real effort, and either don't like it or fail to see results you can keep the welcome kit, blood pressure kit, and anything else provided by Riva and will be refunded.

Unfortunately, we are not able to refund co-pays, expenses for lab tests or medications, or other things outside the program (these go through health insurance, not Riva).

We do not replace your primary care provider, rather we complement the work that they are doing. Once a month, we provide you with a print out that you can share with any doctors you are working with to show them the progress you are making with Riva and ensure that your care across providers is cohesive
