I self pay for one from lilly-direct for about $200/mo. Insurance doesn't cover any part of it yet. It required a prescription from my doc and it comes in the mail.

Depends on how much assurance you need that you're actually injecting what you think you’re injecting.

If you’re okay with just being probably sure, the price is a lot lower.

I’m paying 300/m out of pocket. Really wish my insurance covered it. It’s had a massively positive impact on life.

> GLP-1 receptor agonist medications typically cost between $149 and $350 per month for cash-pay oral pills, and $900 to $1,400+ per month for list-price injectables without insurance.

How technical do you want to get?

The grey-market price from China, is about $100 for 10 x (30mg/mL, 10mL) vials of Tirzepatide. Semaglutide is cheaper.

At the highest dose of 15mg/wk, that's 20 weeks for $100.
