Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a brand-name prescription drug that lowers blood sugar levels in people diagnosed with <\/span>Type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/a>. Without insurance coverage, a 28-day supply of Mounjaro costs about $1,519. There is no <\/span>generic version of Mounjaro<\/span><\/a>, but uninsured patients still have other options to save money.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does Mounjaro cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Without insurance coverage, the retail price for a 28-day supply of Mounjaro (4, 0.5 mL of 5 mg\/0.5 mL auto-injector pens) is about $1,519. That means each weekly dose costs up to $380. At the full retail price, a calendar year of Mounjaro treatment will cost over $18,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

People without insurance should ask the prescribing doctor about other prescription medications similar to Mounjaro, called <\/span>glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists<\/span><\/a>. Unfortunately, most other GLP-1 agonists are premium-priced brand-name medications too, but they may cost a little less than Mounjaro. They include <\/span>Ozempic<\/span><\/a> (semaglutide), <\/span>Trulicity<\/span><\/a> (dulaglutide), <\/span>Saxenda<\/span><\/a> (liraglutide), and <\/span>Victoza<\/span><\/a> (liraglutide). <\/span>Generic liraglutide<\/span><\/a> is currently available and is priced lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>superior efficacy<\/span><\/a> compared to other members of the drug class, Mounjaro may be worth the price for some people. Switching from an alternative like <\/span>Ozempic to Mounjaro<\/span><\/a> requires a careful conversation with your healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are taking a GLP-1 agonist for weight loss without a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, it may be beneficial to use those approved for the weight-loss indication, such as <\/span>Zepbound <\/span><\/a>(tirzepatide) or <\/span>Wegovy<\/span><\/a> (semaglutide). Wegovy is available in both injectable and tablet forms. <\/span>Rybelsus<\/span><\/a> (semaglutide), a once-a-day oral tablet for Type 2 diabetes, is another alternative that could save hundreds of dollars per month.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the monthly cost of any of these drugs proves too challenging, ask the prescriber for medical advice about other Type 2 diabetes medications that have not yet been tried. Many are available in low-priced <\/span>generic versions<\/span><\/a>. However, their effectiveness will differ, as will <\/span>side effects<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>drug interactions<\/span><\/a>. Most do not dramatically affect body weight as much as the GLP-1 agonists do.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best alternative may be to use a SingleCare <\/span>prescription discount card<\/span><\/a>. People using SingleCare at a participating pharmacy could pay as little as $872 for a 28-day supply of Mounjaro.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Mounjaro covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some commercial insurance plans and <\/span>Medicare Part D drug plans<\/span><\/a> cover Mounjaro for Type 2 diabetes, but some don\u2019t. Before filling a prescription, check with the insurance provider. Insurance plans covering Mounjaro tend to place the drug in their highest <\/span>copay<\/span><\/a> tier. Some plans may prefer a different GLP-1 agonist drug. The copay cost could be high. The final out-of-pocket costs may also include <\/span>deductibles<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>coinsurance<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>coverage gap<\/span><\/a> costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medicaid may or may not cover a Mounjaro prescription, depending on the state. The VA and Tricare classify Mounjaro as non-formulary, so a prescription will only be covered with prior authorization if certain criteria are met.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get Mounjaro covered by insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even when health insurance plans cover Mounjaro, there is a good chance coverage will be denied if <\/span>step-therapy<\/span><\/a> requirements are not met. Prior authorization or previous treatment with other drugs is often necessary. Coverage is almost certain to be refused if the drug is being prescribed for weight loss or any other <\/span>off-label<\/span><\/a> use. If coverage is denied, talk to an insurance company representative. They will let you know what you and the prescribing healthcare provider need to do or forms you need to submit before coverage is considered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Federal and state governments are working to make GLP-1 agonists like Mounjaro more affordable. The <\/span>Inflation Reduction Act<\/span><\/a> set in motion negotiations targeting key medications, with GLP-1 agonists as a focus. Another example is the <\/span>Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program<\/span><\/a>, which will make these medications $50 per month if certain eligibility criteria are met. Keep checking for updates on Medicare and Medicaid drug pricing programs. With <\/span>generic Mounjaro<\/span><\/a> not coming anytime soon, the programs are even more important in making it accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the cheapest way to get Mounjaro without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

With a monthly price tag of $1,519, Mounjaro can be challenging to purchase month after month. Patient assistance programs, savings cards, and rebates may help, but many people may not meet strict eligibility requirements. Fortunately, there are other options that are more certain to save money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Use a SingleCare prescription discount card<\/span><\/h3>\n

With a SingleCare Mounjaro coupon, uninsured patients can get Mounjaro for as little as $872. Check the current prices on SingleCare\u2019s <\/span>Mounjaro discount coupon page<\/span><\/a>. While there, make sure to <\/span>sign up for SingleCare\u2019s membership program<\/span><\/a>. This can net bonus savings on refills or future drug purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Shop around for the lowest price<\/span><\/h3>\n

Comparing pharmacy prices can save up to $127. That\u2019s an example of the difference between the lowest and highest pharmacy prices for Mounjaro with a SingleCare discount. You can easily compare prices from different pharmacies on the SingleCare Mounjaro <\/span>coupon page<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Ask the prescriber about other GLP-1 drugs<\/span><\/h3>\n

The prescribing healthcare professional may be able to recommend another brand-name prescription medication similar to Mounjaro, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. These alternative GLP-1 medications may cost hundreds of dollars less per month than Mounjaro.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Ask the prescriber for medical advice about cheaper diabetes drugs<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ask the prescribing healthcare provider for advice about alternative blood glucose-lowering drugs that haven\u2019t been tried. Many diabetes management medications are available as generics, so the cost could be dramatically lower than Mounjaro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Ask the prescriber about other weight loss medications<\/span><\/h3>\n

If Mounjaro is prescribed off-label for weight management, then insurance won\u2019t help. Everyone will pay the full cash price. If that price is too much, consider switching to another weight loss drug such as <\/span>Xenical<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>orlistat<\/span><\/a>) and <\/span>Lomaira<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>phentermine<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

What about compounded tirzepatide?<\/span><\/h2>\n

When Mounjaro was officially in <\/span>short supply<\/span><\/a> according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA<\/span>)<\/span>, compounding pharmacies were permitted to compound tirzepatide. The shortage designation was removed in 2025, meaning that compound tirzepatide is no longer allowed. <\/span>Safety and efficacy concerns<\/span><\/a> swirl around any compound version remaining on the market. It is best to talk to your healthcare provider and learn more about the <\/span>differences between brand-name and compound tirzepatide<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
