Zepbound<\/span><\/a> is a brand-name, prescription-only injectable medication FDA-approved to treat obesity or <\/span>obstructive sleep apnea<\/span><\/a> related to obesity. Zepbound\u2019s active ingredient is tirzepatide, and it is classified as a dual GIP receptor agonist and <\/span>GLP-1<\/span><\/a> receptor agonist (like <\/span>Ozempic<\/span><\/a>). The average retail list price for Zepbound is about $1,507 for four weekly pre-filled pens. There are no generic alternatives, and insurance coverage of Zepbound can be difficult to navigate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Without insurance coverage, cash-paying customers can expect to pay $1,507 for four weekly injections. This comes out to about $375 per injectable dose. The yearly cost of Zepbound is over $19,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are no generic versions of Zepbound or similar drugs in the <\/span>GLP-1 and GIP\/GLP-1<\/span><\/a> classes. The only significantly lower-priced medications are other types of weight loss drugs, but these are usually used in the short term and have significant side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

One alternative is to switch from Zepbound injection pens to single-dose vials purchased directly from the manufacturer of Zepbound through Lilly\u2019s self-pay program. This can reduce the monthly out-of-pocket cost to $500, but the downside is having to use a syringe and needle for the subcutaneous injection.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lowest-cost option for getting Zepbound injection pens or any other GLP-1 drug from the pharmacy is to use a SingleCare coupon. With SingleCare, you can access a 28-day supply of <\/span>Zepbound<\/span><\/a> starting at about $950 at participating pharmacies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does generic Zepbound cost?<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are currently no generic versions of Zepbound or any other drug in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class of drugs. A generic version of Zepbound will not be available in the United States until <\/span>2036<\/span><\/a> at the earliest.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Zepbound costs by dose<\/span><\/h2>\n

Zepbound is available in six dosage strengths. People start on the lowest dose, 2.5 mg once weekly, and gradually increase to the most effective maintenance dose, 5, 10, or 15 mg once weekly. The retail price of Zepbound is always the same, no matter what dose is prescribed.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Employer-provided or commercial health insurance plans do not usually cover Zepbound. When it is, <\/span>it\u2019s sometimes placed in a non-formulary tier<\/span><\/a>, so getting reimbursement may be difficult. When an insurance company does cover Zepbound, it usually covers it in select premium insurance plans or <\/span>only for sleep apnea treatment<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>These health plans<\/span><\/a> typically require prior authorization before paying for a prescription.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Medicare plans do not cover weight loss medications. Medicaid coverage will vary by state.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get Zepbound covered by insurance<\/span><\/h3>\n

Patients will typically have Zepbound denied by their insurance provider, even when the plan covers it. For those without formulary coverage, talk to the prescriber about getting a formulary exception. The doctor will have to file a letter of medical necessity justifying the use of Zepbound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your health plan does cover Zepbound and it\u2019s still denied, the prior authorization requirements for coverage have not been met. These requirements can be very complex for both <\/span>weight loss<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>sleep apnea<\/span><\/a>, so it helps to review them with a doctor or a pharmacist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get Zepbound without insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Paying for Zepbound with inadequate or no insurance coverage presents significant financial challenges. Lilly, the maker of Zepbound, does offer some assistance options, but many people will not be able to meet the strict eligibility requirements. There are still options to lower the price and make Zepbound more affordable, starting with a SingleCare prescription discount card.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

With a free coupon from SingleCare, the cash price of a 28-day supply of Zepbound can be as low as $950, no matter what the dose prescribed. The FAQs section on this page contains additional information that can save you money. While on this coupons page, sign up for SingleCare\u2019s <\/span>loyalty savings program<\/span><\/a> to earn bonus savings on refills and other drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Ask the prescriber about using Zepbound vials<\/span><\/h3>\n

For people willing to use a needle and syringe to manually draw and administer their doses, the manufacturer will sell Zepbound vials by mail order at a considerable discount compared to the injection pens.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Consider switching to Mounjaro<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mounjaro has the same active ingredient as Zepbound and is available in the same dosage strengths. If you have a concurrent diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, you may be able to use that medication instead. Not only does it have a slightly lower price, but more insurance companies cover it. However, you must still meet prior authorization requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Shop for the best price<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another way to save money is to compare pharmacy prices. <\/span>Currently<\/span><\/a>, the lowest pharmacy price for Zepbound is about $140 less than the highest pharmacy price.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Ask your healthcare provider about other weight loss drugs<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are no generics for Zepbound or any drug in the same class of drugs. However, other oral medications are approved to treat obesity and aid in weight loss. These oral drugs tend to have lower <\/span>out-of-pocket costs<\/span><\/a> than the injectable Zepbound, but their <\/span>results<\/span><\/a> in clinical trials for weight loss generally have not been comparable to those for Zepbound. One option, <\/span>phentermine<\/span><\/a>, is generic and much more affordable, but phentermine may not be appropriate for everyone because of possible side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
