Lilly's Zepbound commercial savings card is available to patients with commercial health insurance that covers Zepbound for weight management. Eligibility excludes patients with Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or any other government-funded program. With the card, eligible patients can pay as little as $25/month for the first 6 months of treatment, then up to $150/month for the next 6 months, subject to maximum savings caps. After 12 months, the savings benefit ends and the patient pays their plan's standard copay. Patients without commercial insurance coverage of Zepbound can use the LillyDirect Self-Pay program separately, which offers vials at $349-549/month depending on dose. Lilly may update card terms periodically; check the current terms on the official Zepbound savings card page before relying on a specific dollar amount.
