How do I get Mounjaro for $25 a month?

Short answer

The $25/month price comes from the Mounjaro manufacturer savings card, which requires commercial (employer or marketplace) insurance — it does not apply if you are uninsured or on Medicare/Medicaid.

The advertised “Mounjaro for $25” is the Eli Lilly manufacturer savings card. To get it you generally need commercial insurance (through an employer or the marketplace) that covers Mounjaro; the card then lowers your copay to as little as $25 for a 1-, 2- or 3-month fill. Federal rules exclude Medicare, Medicaid, VA and TRICARE from manufacturer copay cards.

If you are uninsured, there is no Mounjaro card and the list price is about $1,112/month. For weight loss, the same molecule is sold as Zepbound, with Lilly self-pay from $299 to $699/month depending on dose and refill timing; compounded tirzepatide via licensed telehealth runs about $179–$450/month (the low end is a 12-month plan billed upfront) and is not FDA-approved as a finished drug. Prices are estimates as of September 2026 and change without notice.

Which Mounjaro price applies to you

Your situation	What applies	What you pay
Commercial insurance that covers Mounjaro	Mounjaro Savings Card	As little as $25 for a 1-, 2- or 3-month fill; the card pays up to $150 a month and $1,950 a year
Commercial insurance that does not cover Mounjaro	The same card, not-covered tier	As low as $499 for a 1-month fill
Medicare, Medicaid, VA or TRICARE	No manufacturer card (federal law); Mounjaro is not part of the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge	Your plan’s cost-sharing if it covers Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes
No insurance	No card	List price, about $1,112/month

How to get the $25 price

Check that your plan’s formulary lists Mounjaro and whether it needs prior authorization. The card requires a prescription for an FDA-approved use, which for Mounjaro is type 2 diabetes.
Activate the Mounjaro Savings Card on Lilly’s site (mounjaro.lilly.com) or by phone at 1-844-805-5807.
Give the card details to your pharmacy with the prescription. It is billed after your insurance, like a second payer.
Ask for a 3-month fill if your plan allows it: Lilly’s terms let a 3-month fill cost as little as $25 in total.

Where the $25 price stops

A monthly copay above $175 does not reach $25, because the card pays at most $150 per 1-month fill.
The card stops at $1,950 a year and 13 fills. A high copay can use that up before December.
Mounjaro prescribed only for weight loss is off-label. Plans rarely cover it for that, and the covered tier needs an approved use.
