How do I get Zepbound for $25 a month?

Short answer

The $25 price is the Eli Lilly Zepbound Savings Card, which requires commercial insurance that covers Zepbound (the card pays up to $100 per 1-month fill and $1,300 a year); without coverage, Lilly self-pay runs $299–$699/month depending on dose and refill timing.

The “Zepbound for $25” offer is the Eli Lilly savings card. It applies only if you have commercial (non-government) insurance that covers Zepbound for chronic weight management: the card lowers your copay to as little as $25 for a 1-, 2- or 3-month fill, paying up to $100 per 1-month fill, $1,300 per calendar year, for up to 13 fills. Medicare, Medicaid, VA and TRICARE members are excluded by federal rules.

If your commercial plan does not cover Zepbound, Lilly has a separate card that lets you pay as low as $499 for a 1-month pen fill. Uninsured, the FDA-approved route is Lilly self-pay (vial or KwikPen) at $299–$699/month. 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.

To enroll, use the official Zepbound coverage-and-savings page (zepbound.lilly.com) or call 1-800-545-5979, then present the card with your prescription at the pharmacy. Re-verify the terms at enrollment — Lilly adjusts caps and eligibility periodically. Prices are estimates as of September 2026.

The limits that decide what you pay

Lilly counts a month as 28 days, so a year holds 13 fills. 13 × $100 is exactly the $1,300 annual limit.
A copay above $125 does not reach $25.
On self-pay, missing the 45-day refill window raises 7.5 mg to $499 and 10–15 mg to $699.
