GLP-1 coupons and savings cards: from $25 a month with commercial insurance

By John Samaras, EditorChecked August 31, 2026

With commercial insurance a manufacturer savings card takes the copay to $25 a month. Government plans are barred from the cards. Without insurance the lowest branded price a maker publishes is $149 a month at a starter dose.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest way to pay for a GLP-1 with commercial insurance?

Use the manufacturer savings card for the drug your doctor prescribes. Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Foundayo all have cards that drop your copay to as low as $25 a month. You cannot use a savings card together with GoodRx on the same fill. Use one or the other.

Can I use a GLP-1 savings card with Medicare or Medicaid?

No. Federal anti-kickback law prohibits manufacturer savings cards for patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE or any other federal or state government health program. Using one on a government plan can expose the patient and the pharmacy to liability.

What is the cheapest GLP-1 without insurance?

An oral pill at $149 a month is the lowest list price for a branded GLP-1, and three of them now hit it: the Wegovy pill at 1.5mg and the Ozempic pill at 1.5mg through NovoCare, and Foundayo at 0.8mg through Lilly. All three are starter doses. At maintenance the Wegovy and Ozempic pills run $299 and Foundayo runs $299 to $349, by dose. For cash-pay branded tirzepatide, LillyDirect Zepbound vials run $299 a month at the 2.5mg starting dose and $449 at 7.5mg and above. The cheapest GLP-1 overall is compounded semaglutide, a pharmacy-made version that is not FDA-approved and is not Wegovy or Ozempic, starting around $149 a month through a telehealth program.

What is the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program?

The CMS GLP-1 Bridge Program runs from July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. It offers Wegovy, Foundayo and the Zepbound KwikPen at a flat $50 a month for qualifying Medicare Part D members, subject to prior authorization. The single-dose vials and pens are not covered, only the KwikPen, so ask your prescriber to write the KwikPen. This is separate from the Part D obesity-drug exclusion and does not require a cardiovascular or sleep apnea diagnosis.

Does GoodRx help with Wegovy or Zepbound?

GoodRx discounts on brand-name GLP-1s are modest, typically 5 to 22 percent off the retail price. For Wegovy and Ozempic, GoodRx routes patients to the NovoCare self-pay program instead of a coupon. For insured patients, the manufacturer savings card almost always beats GoodRx. For cash-pay patients, the LillyDirect and NovoCare programs beat GoodRx on tirzepatide and semaglutide respectively.

Do the savings card prices expire?

The Eli Lilly cards (Zepbound, Mounjaro, Foundayo) expire December 31, 2026 and are typically renewed annually. The Novo Nordisk cards (Wegovy, Ozempic) have no published expiry but terms can change. Always verify current terms at the manufacturer's site before your refill.

What happens if I miss a LillyDirect refill?

LillyDirect self-pay requires a refill within 45 days of your last delivery. Miss that window and Lilly bills its regular price instead: $499 at 7.5mg and $699 at 10mg and above. Set a calendar reminder before day 40.
