Important safety information
What you should know before taking Zepbound.
Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Zepbound (tirzepatide), offers a savings card program that can help lower the cost of Zepbound. Patients with commercial insurance and without government coverage, like Medicare, are eligible to enroll. As a Body Program patient, we’ll help you understand the details of the savings card, so you can use it when you pick up your Zepbound prescription at your preferred pharmacy. You can learn more about the Zepbound savings card and eligibility requirements here.
The majority of people with commercial insurance are eligible to enroll in the Zepbound savings card.
Unfortunately, anyone enrolled in any state-, federal-, or government-funded healthcare program, including Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Part D, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, DoD, VA, TRICARE®/CHAMPUS, or any state prescription drug assistance program is not eligible for the Zepbound savings card. Check eligibility details on here to confirm.
Ro’s concierge will review your insurance plan details to understand which GLP-1 medications are covered by your plan and if your plan requires a prior authorization (PA) request. Our team will take care of all the paperwork required.
If your provider prescribes Zepbound for you and you have commercial insurance, enroll for a savings card here.
Once your provider lets you know about your coverage details, you can estimate the cost of Zepbound using the chart below.
When you go to your preferred pharmacy to pick up your prescription, give the pharmacist your insurance info and your Zepbound savings card. You can choose to download, email, text, or add your savings card to your mobile wallet.
The pharmacy will likely run another insurance check on the spot to verify your plan details to confirm your savings amount.
Your pharmacist may not be familiar with how to input the savings card into their system. You can assist them by directing them to these instructions from the savings card manufacturer, Eli Lilly. We've found that pages 6 and 7 are the most helpful.
The amount that you’ll pay for medication depends largely on your insurance plan details. (See chart below for details.)
If your insurance plan covers Zepbound (any amount of coverage), you’ll get $150 off your medication per month. You could pay as low as $25/month.
If your insurance plan has an exclusion for Zepbound or your prior authorization has been rejected, you’ll get up to $563 off your medication per month. In many cases, patients pay $500-700 for medication per month.
If you have commercial insurance AND don't have federal coverage: You are eligible to enroll in the Zepbound savings card program. The discount you’ll get on medication depends if your insurance plan covers Zepbound and how much of the medication cost it covers. Don't worry if you're unsure what your coverage looks like. When you sign up for the Body Program, we'll do the work to find out.
If you don’t have commercial insurance OR have federal coverage: You are not eligible to enroll in the Zepbound savings card. This applies to anyone who is enrolled in state-, federal-, or government-funded healthcare programs (like Medicare and Medicaid), or is uninsured.

Full coverage with commercial insurance
If your commercial insurance plan covers the majority of the cost of Zepbound, you could pay as low as $25/month for medication with the savings card.
$150/month off
Partial coverage with commercial insurance
If your commercial insurance plan covers part of the cost of Zepbound, you’ll get an additional $150 off the remainder. For example, if your plan covers $200 and your pharmacy sells Zepbound for $1200, you’ll be responsible for $850 with the savings card. Final cost depends on the pharmacy your prescription is filled at.
$563/month off
No coverage with commercial insurance
If your commercial insurance plan does NOT cover Zepbound, the savings card will get you up to $563 off per month. So if your pharmacy sells Zepbound for $1,200, you’ll pay around $637 per month.
Cash pay price
No commercial insurance
If you don't have commercial insurance or are uninsured, you’ll pay cash for the medication and the Zepbound savings card cannot be applied. The cash price varies by pharmacy, but we’ve seen it listed for between $1,050 to $1,300. To see a full list of insurance plans that are ineligible for the savings card, visit Eli Lilly's website.
