Mounjaro is only FDA-approved for Type 2 diabetes, but it\u2019s also helped many people lose weight, and some healthcare providers may prescribe it off-label for weight management. Either way, one glance at its average out-of-pocket costs might leave you wondering how, besides your Medicare plan, you might be able to save money. Here are some useful tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does-medicare-cover-mounjaro\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Medicare cover Mounjaro?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, but not always. It largely depends on why the healthcare provider has prescribed it. \u201cMedicare may cover Mounjaro when it\u2019s prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes and the drug is on the plan\u2019s formulary,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/amsemenya\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afi Semenya, MD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a physician at Boston Medical Center (BMC)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cIt is also important to note that Medicare does not cover Mounjaro when it\u2019s prescribed solely for weight loss.\u201d Eli Lilly (Moujaro\u2019s manufacturer) has developed a tirzepatide drug called Zepbound that&#8217;s specifically approved for weight loss, but Medicare typically won\u2019t cover it for that purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Medicare health insurance plans might list Mounjaro as a \u201cnon-preferred brand,\u201d which means they\u2019re more likely to cover other options. For these plans, you may need prior authorization. This is the process by which insurance companies confirm that a specific prescription drug is medically necessary. It may require the prescriber to submit additional documentation, or it might require step therapy\u2014trying other drugs first before moving to Mounjaro.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-mounjaro-cost-with-medicare\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Mounjaro cost with Medicare?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you were to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/mounjaro-without-insurance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pay for Mounjaro completely out of pocket<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you could pay <span class=\"scdp scdp-unc-price\">$1,355.27<\/span> for 2, 5mg\/0.5ml 0.5ml pens. However, you likely won\u2019t pay that much if you have Medicare coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since every Medicare Part D plan differs, it\u2019s difficult to pinpoint exactly how much you\u2019ll pay after Medicare covers its portion. However, in 2023,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/data.cms.gov\/summary-statistics-on-use-and-payments\/medicare-medicaid-spending-by-drug\/medicare-part-d-spending-by-drug\/data\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicare contributed over $2 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to 370,203 beneficiaries for their Mounjaro prescriptions. That\u2019s around $6,379 per beneficiary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have to pay the full amount until you reach your deductible, which can vary by plan. However, the limit for Medicare Part D deductibles is $615. After that, you\u2019ll pay 25% coinsurance. Between the deductible and copays, the federal government has<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicare.gov\/health-drug-plans\/part-d\/basics\/costs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">capped 2026 out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,100<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for all Medicare beneficiaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div class=\"singlecare-dynamic-newsletter-wrapper sin-newsletter-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"heading\">Get our weight management newsletter<\/span>\n\t\t\t<form class=\"form-wrapper\" data-newsletter-form=\"1\" data-subsource=\"Weight Management Newsletter\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"input-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"dynamic-email\">Email<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"email\" id=\"dynamic-email\" class=\"email\" required>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"input-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<input class=\"submit-form-btn\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Click to sign up\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/form>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"success-message\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mounjaro-assistance-for-medicare-patients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mounjaro assistance for Medicare patients<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even with Medicare coverage, sometimes Mounjaro can still be expensive. Whether you don\u2019t receive coverage from your Medicare plan or need help paying your deductible or coinsurance, there are reliable ways to save. \u201cPatients can therefore lower costs by choosing a Part D plan that covers Mounjaro, making sure prior authorization is completed, and asking about a tier exception when appropriate,\u201d Dr. Semenya says. \u201cBut this again depends on individual plans.\u201d Here are a few other ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"free-mounjaro-coupons\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free Mounjaro coupons<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare coupons can immediately knock hundreds off the price of Mounjaro. All you have to do is<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/signup\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sign up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, then present your SingleCare coupon card at any participating pharmacy. You can use SingleCare even if you have Medicare Part D, but you can\u2019t use the coupons on top of your Medicare coverage. You\u2019ll have to see which option will save more money.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"medicare-extra-help\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicare Extra Help<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a program for Medicare beneficiaries who need assistance paying their Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D) premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and other costs.To qualify, you must meet income and resource limits. If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicare.gov\/basics\/costs\/help\/drug-costs\">qualify for Extra Help<\/a>, you will have a $0 deductible and pay a steeply discounted price for each prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"medicaid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicaid<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicaid is another government program funded by both state and federal governments that provides financial assistance for people who need help paying their medical and prescription drug costs.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicaid.gov\/state-overviews\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each state sets its own eligibility requirements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but there\u2019s typically an income limit to qualify. Any Medicare beneficiaries who enroll in Medicaid will also automatically receive Extra Help benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"manufacturer-assistance-programs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manufacturer assistance programs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eli Lilly has a Mounjaro savings card, and they say eligible enrollees will pay as little as $25 per prescription. However, you can\u2019t qualify for this card if you&#8217;re enrolled in Medicare Part D, Medicaid, or any other government-funded prescription assistance program. The company also has a patient assistance program called Lilly Cares, and even though it doesn\u2019t currently apply to Mounjaro, it\u2019s worth keeping an eye on in case they add it in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"90-day-prescriptions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90-day prescriptions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your insurance plan and healthcare provider allow it, you can save some money by getting a 90-day prescription instead of a one-month supply. \u201cOpting to buy the 90-day (3-month) option can also help lower costs and is convenient for those who plan to use Mounjaro for the long term,\u201d Dr. Semenya says. In fact,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/mmrr\/Downloads\/MMRR2012_002_03_A04.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a study from the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicare &amp; Medicaid Research Review<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that patients who got 90-day prescriptions not only saved money but also had better medication adherence and persistence with minimal medication waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"free-samples\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free samples<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some healthcare professionals may stock free samples for their patients. And while this might be a good way to get a few doses for free, it\u2019s not a long-term solution for saving money.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"alternative-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternative medications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mounjaro isn\u2019t the only GLP-1 drug available, and some others might have better prices or insurance coverage. In 2024,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/press-announcements\/fda-approves-first-generic-once-daily-glp-1-injection-lower-blood-sugar-patients-type-2-diabetes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the FDA approved<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the first GLP-1 generics.
