Plan coverage + Zepbound Savings Card
until Dec 31, 2026$25/mo≈13 months of card benefit left at the maximum monthly benefit.
- Commercial insurance that covers Zepbound (single-dose pen). US or Puerto Rico resident 18+. Government beneficiaries (Medicaid, Medicare, VA, TRICARE, or any other state, federal or government-funded healthcare program) excluded.
- As little as $25 for a 1-, 2-, or 3-month prescription. Max benefit $100 / $200 / $300 per 1- / 2- / 3-month fill. $1,300 calendar-year cap across up to 13 fills per calendar year. A month is 28 days and up to 4 single-dose pens, so 13 fills is a full year of 28-day cycles and the fill count binds at the same time as the dollar cap, not before it.

Discount card at retail (GoodRx and similar)
verify locally$299/mo- GoodRx sells the KwikPen presentation: its GLP-1 savings page says 'Zepbound KwikPens ... starting at $299 per month', and the Zepbound page defaults to a KwikPen prescription with a separate switch to the single-dose pen that it does not price
- Dose- and pharmacy-dependent. Verify at your ZIP before relying on it.

TrumpRx
reference verify locally$299/mo- Routes you to LillyDirect, where the price varies by dose
- Government referral site — does not sell drugs or process payments; issues coupons or routes to manufacturer DTC channels. Every figure it shows is a starting-at price — the site's own column is headed 'Lowest' — so it is a floor for the cheapest dose or intro offer, never a flat price.

Retail list price (reference)
reference verify locally$1,087/mo- Cited to TrumpRx, which displays $1,087 as Zepbound's list price; drugs.com stopped publishing it and now shows the LillyDirect self-pay tiers instead
- Context anchor only — what the drug costs with no route at all. Walk-in cash at retail typically exceeds WAC.
