Covered Medications
The following medications are covered by Mounjaro Savings (via Lilly):
How to Apply
- Check that your insurance is commercial (through an employer or bought privately) and covers Mounjaro. Medicare, Medicaid and other government-insured patients cannot use the card.
- Get the savings card on Lilly's Mounjaro savings page, linked below; no income documents are needed.
- Give the card details to your pharmacy with your prescription. Ask your prescriber about a 3-month prescription, since the card can cover up to 3 months for as little as $25 in total.
- Savings are subject to monthly and annual limits, and Lilly can change the card terms at any time, so recheck them before each refill.
