Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Mounjaro cost with the savings card?
Eligible commercially insured patients with Mounjaro coverage pay as little as $25 for a 1-month or 3-month supply. Eli Lilly covers up to approximately $573/month above that. Patients with commercial insurance but no Mounjaro coverage on their formulary pay up to $463/month with the card.
Is Mounjaro approved for weight loss?
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is FDA-approved only for type 2 diabetes management. Zepbound contains the same active ingredient and is FDA-approved for chronic weight management. The Mounjaro savings card only applies when prescribed for type 2 diabetes. For weight loss, see the Zepbound savings card.
Can I get Mounjaro without insurance?
The Mounjaro manufacturer savings card requires commercial insurance. Without insurance, consider the Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program (income-based free medication), GoodRx (limited savings), or compounded tirzepatide through a legitimate compounding pharmacy at $250 to $499/month.
Does the savings card work with the Mounjaro starter dose?
Yes. The savings card covers all approved doses: 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg weekly injections. Your cost stays at $25 regardless of titration step.
What is the difference between the Mounjaro and Zepbound savings cards?
Both programs have the same $25/month patient cost and ~$573/month coverage cap with insurance. The difference is the approved indication: Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes, Zepbound for chronic weight management. Use the card that matches your prescription. You cannot stack them.
Does Mounjaro require prior authorization?
Many commercial plans require prior authorization for Mounjaro. Your doctor's office documents your type 2 diabetes diagnosis, A1C, and prior medication history. The savings card applies after the plan approves coverage.
Can Medicare or Medicaid patients use the Mounjaro savings card?
No. Federal anti-kickback laws prohibit manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, or other government plans. Medicare patients should ask their provider about LillyDirect Self Pay or contact Lilly Cares Foundation for income-based aid.
How long does the Mounjaro savings card stay valid?
Typically 12 months from activation, renewable. Eli Lilly can change or end the program with notice. Always verify current terms at mounjaro.com/savings before filling each prescription.
