Manufacturer savings cards reduce your copay at the pharmacy counter for the specific brand-name drug.
Eligibility basics
Most cards require commercial insurance (employer or marketplace plan). Medicare, Medicaid, and other federally funded plans are typically excluded. Some manufacturers offer separate cash-pay programs for the uninsured.
Typical savings
- Wegovy savings card: as little as $25/month for insured patients with coverage; ~$349/month cash-pay (maintenance; $199 intro).
- Zepbound: as little as $25/month with coverage; without insurance, Lilly self-pay runs $299–$699/month depending on dose and whether you refill within 45 days.
- Ozempic: as little as $25/month with coverage (the card pays up to $100 per 1-month fill); without coverage, NovoCare self-pay is $199 for the first two fills, then $349/month (0.25–1 mg) or $499 (2 mg).
Always check the official manufacturer site for current terms — see each drug's GLP1Zoom page for the official link.
