Zepbound, a medication approved by the FDA for weight loss, is now available in pharmacies, but the price may be prohibitive for some. That’s why the manufacturer has made a coupon that may offer significant savings on the drug. We spoke with Dr. Yael Cooperman, M.D. about where to get a coupon for Zepbound.
Zepbound coupons
Zepbound (tirzepatide) is a medication prescribed to treat overweight and obesity produced by drug manufacturer Eli Lilly. Much like other weight loss medications, Zepbound can be prohibitively costly for some patients, with prices reaching $1,059.87 per month for the once-weekly shots. So manufacturer Eli Lilly offers a manufacturer’s coupon for the drug, which may help patients save significantly, offering up to $150/month savings for patients with commercial insurance coverage and up to $563/month of monthly savings for those who are not covered by their commercial insurance provider.
To qualify for these savings, you must have commercial insurance coverage that includes treatment with weight loss medications. People with government insurance coverage (such as Medicare and Medicaid) do not qualify for coverage for these medications. If you have private insurance coverage, but your insurance does not cover weight loss medications, you still may qualify for savings of up to $563 a month, which is about 50% off the list price.
