Mounjaro is also popular for weight loss, although it is not FDA-approved for this use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;In clinical trials, Mounjaro has reduced patients&#8217; weights by more than 20%,&#8221; explains Suzanne Soliman, Pharm.D., a board-certified pharmacist and founder of Pharmacist Moms Group. Although Mounjaro is not FDA-approved for weight loss, many providers prescribe it <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/off-label-prescription-drugs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">off-label<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for this use, which is causing it to become increasingly popular. The FDA has approved <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/zepbound\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zepbound<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which contains the same active ingredient as Mounjaro, for weight loss and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Mounjaro can be expensive\u2014especially if you\u2019re uninsured or your drug insurance won\u2019t cover Mounjaro for weight loss. Fortunately, there are opportunities for Mounjaro savings, which help to reduce the cost of your prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/best-weight-loss-pills\/\"><b>Safe and effective weight-loss medications<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-mounjaro-cost\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Mounjaro cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/mounjaro#Price-History\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">average retail price<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Mounjaro, without insurance or any discounts, is over $1,500 for a monthly supply. (The medication is injected once weekly.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact price will vary based on several factors, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your location<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which pharmacy you choose<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prescribed dosage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your health insurance coverage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"is-mounjaro-covered-by-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Mounjaro covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance coverage varies by plan, but many insurance plans cover Mounjaro when it\u2019s prescribed for its FDA-approved indication, which is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/diabetes-causes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, since plans vary, the only way to know for sure if Mounjaro will be covered is to check with your insurance company for your specific coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many health insurance companies require <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/prior-authorization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prior authorization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before they\u2019ll cover Mounjaro. This means your healthcare provider will answer questions about your health and submit documentation to prove that you have Type 2 diabetes. You may be denied Mounjaro coverage if it\u2019s been prescribed for an off-label use, like weight loss or sleep apnea treatment. The FDA has approved another name-brand medication, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/zepbound\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zepbound<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for these indications. Some insurance companies cover Mounjaro but not Zepbound, or vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An insurance plan\u2019s formulary is its list of covered drugs and the payment tiers for each. Lower tiers are usually generics and inexpensive brand-name drugs, while higher tiers are usually higher-cost brand-name drugs. When insurance does cover Mounjaro, it tends to be a mid-tier drug, such as Tier 2 or Tier 3. On most plans, copayments and coinsurance increase according to the tier number. Here\u2019s how to find out how much Mounjaro costs with insurance:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your insurance plan\u2019s formulary to find out which tier has been assigned to Mounjaro.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your plan\u2019s summary of benefits to see how much you owe for a drug in the appropriate tier.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if the formulary lists Mounjaro as Tier 2 and your summary of benefits says Tier 2 drugs are subject to a $35 copay, you\u2019ll pay $35 at the pharmacy. However, depending on your plan design, this copayment may apply only after you meet your annual prescription drug deductible. Until the deductible is satisfied, you may be responsible for the full allowed amount (or cash or retail cost, depending on your pharmacy and network status) for the first fills. The deductible resets at the start of each plan year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"does-medicare-cover-mounjaro\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Medicare cover Mounjaro?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Medicare Part D plans cover Mounjaro, but not all do. If your Medicare plan offers Mounjaro coverage, you\u2019ll pay copay or coinsurance according to Mounjaro\u2019s assigned tier, just like with commercial insurance. Copay and coinsurance amounts vary by plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Federal law limits Medicare Part D out-of-pocket costs to $2,100 for the entire year of 2026. This only applies to prescriptions covered by your plan. If your Medicare Part D plan doesn\u2019t cover Mounjaro, the amount you pay at the pharmacy doesn\u2019t apply toward the $2,100 limit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"does-medicaid-cover-mounjaro\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Medicaid cover Mounjaro?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicaid coverage varies by state. Many Medicaid programs cover Type 2 diabetes treatments like Mounjaro, but coverage isn\u2019t guaranteed. It\u2019s best to check with your specific state Medicaid plan for more information about Mounjaro coverage and cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/obesity-and-health-insurance\/\"><b>What obesity treatments does insurance cover?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-i-get-mounjaro-for-free\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I get Mounjaro for free?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If prescribed for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, the entire cost of Mounjaro may be covered for commercially insured patients, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pharmacistmomsgroup.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Soliman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s often considered a \u201cnon-preferred\u201d medication, which may require prior authorization to receive coverage, explains <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dr-wendi-d-jones\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wendi D.
