Discount cards from
the drug companies.
Lilly and Novo Nordisk each run a savings card for their own GLP-1 medications. Both are free, and you apply on the company's own site. What a card takes off depends on one thing above all, which is whether your commercial plan covers the medication already.
If your commercial plan covers it
As little as $25 a fill, up to a cap.
Zepbound Savings Card
For a one, two or three month fill. Savings are capped at $100 on a one-month prescription and $1,300 across the calendar year, and the card expires on 31 December 2026.
Wegovy Savings Offer
For people with commercial insurance that covers Wegovy. Maximum savings are $100 a month.
Ozempic Savings Offer
For commercially insured patients, with maximum savings of $100 a month. Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes rather than weight loss, and plans treat the two differently.
Mounjaro Savings Card
Lilly runs a card for Mounjaro on the same pattern, for people with commercial insurance. The terms are set separately from Zepbound's, so read them on Lilly's page rather than assuming they match.
If your commercial plan does not cover it
The card becomes a discount rather than a copay.
Lilly's card also serves people whose commercial plan excludes Zepbound, bringing the pen to $299 a month at 2.5 mg, $399 at 5 mg and $449 at 7.5 mg and above, with the same 45-day refill condition on the higher doses. Novo Nordisk's equivalent route is the NovoCare Pharmacy self-pay price. Both are priced out in full on the cash-pay page.
FAQ
The parts that catch people out.
Who cannot use any of these cards?
Every one of them excludes people enrolled in a state, federal or government funded health program. That means Medicare, Medicare Part D, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, Medicaid, TRICARE, the VA and the Department of Defense. It is federal law rather than the manufacturer being difficult, and a pharmacist cannot override it.
If that is you, Medicare and Medicaid sets out what is open to you instead, and prescription assistance lists the charitable programmes that people on government coverage can usually still apply to.
How often do these terms change?
Often, and without notice. Every figure on this page was read off the manufacturer's own page on 4 September 2026, and each block links to that page. Caps, expiry dates and eligibility rules are set and changed by the companies that run them, not by us. Check the source before you rely on a number.
Are these the only programmes there are?
No. These are the cards people ask us about most, and new programmes, new medications and new terms arrive all the time. We update this page periodically, so there may well be something that is not listed here yet. If you were prescribed a GLP-1 that is not named on this page, look for a savings or support programme on that medication's own site.
Does what I spend on a card count toward my deductible?
No. Money you spend through a savings offer or a self-pay pharmacy does not count toward your insurance deductible or your out-of-pocket maximum, and it cannot be submitted to your insurer for reimbursement afterwards. If you are close to meeting a deductible for the year, work that out before you choose this route.
Prices change. Every figure on this page was read off the manufacturer's or the government's own page on 4 September 2026, and each one links to that page. Programs are set and changed by the companies and agencies that run them, not by us, so check the source before you rely on a number.
