5 ways to get your GLP-1 cheaper
- Try LillyDirect or NovoCare first. Manufacturer self-pay programs are often cheaper than telehealth — LillyDirect Zepbound vials start at $349/mo.
- Apply for the manufacturer savings card. Wegovy and Zepbound both have commercial-insurance savings cards that can drop your copay to $0–$25.
- Get a comorbidity documented. Sleep apnea, hypertension, prediabetes, high cholesterol — any of these plus BMI ≥27 typically qualifies you for insurance coverage.
- Switch to a covered drug class.If your insurance covers Ozempic but not Wegovy, and you have type 2 diabetes, that's a valid path. Same molecule.
- Use telehealth as a last resort. Hims, Ro, Found and others offer $199–$499/mo. Compounded options (when available) are cheapest but FDA-restricted post-2025.
