Zepbound, Wegovy, Mounjaro & Ozempic Coupons and Savings Cards (2026)
Every GLP-1 maker advertises "as little as $25," but the fine print decides what you actually pay. This guide puts all four savings programs side by side: who qualifies, the monthly caps most people miss, the cash prices for people without coverage, and the new $50 Medicare option.

All four GLP-1 makers offer a savings card that can bring your cost to as little as $25 a month, but only if you have commercial insurance that covers the drug. Even then, the card takes off at most $100 a month for Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic ($150 for Mounjaro), so $25 only works when your copay is low. Without coverage, the manufacturers' cash prices start at $149 (Wegovy or Ozempic pill), $199 (Wegovy or Ozempic pen, first two months) and $299 (Zepbound). Medicare members can't use these cards, but eligible members can get Wegovy or the Zepbound KwikPen for $50 a month through the GLP-1 Bridge.

| Factor | Zepbound | Wegovy | Mounjaro | Ozempic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starting cash price | 3.3/5 | 5/5 | 1/5 | 5/5 |
| Maintenance cash price | 2.3/5 | 5/5 | 1/5 | 5/5 |
| Card monthly cap | 3.3/5 | 3.3/5 | 5/5 | 3.3/5 |
| Medicare $50 Bridge | 5/5 | 5/5 | 1/5 | 1/5 |
| Approved for weight loss | 5/5 | 5/5 | 1/5 | 1/5 |
How we scored it: price axes are linear, cheapest = 5 and most expensive = 1 (starting cash price $149–$499; maintenance $349–$499, using Ozempic up to 1 mg and Zepbound 7.5–15 mg). Card cap: $150 = 5, $100 = 3.3. Yes/no axes: yes = 5, no = 1. Weight-loss approval matters because insurers and Medicare cover weight-loss drugs under different rules than diabetes drugs.
Which savings route fits you
The $100 cap: why your "$25" card can cost $200
The "$25" headline is the minimum you pay, not a guaranteed price. The card pays the part of your copay above $25, up to its monthly cap. With a big copay or an unmet deductible, the cap runs out:
Worked from published card terms: Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic take off up to $100 a month; Mounjaro up to $150. Bars scaled to $1,000. Actual plan prices vary.
Early in the year on a high-deductible plan, you may owe the plan's full negotiated price. With a $100 card that can still leave you at $900 or more, while the same drug's cash price may be $349 to $449. Cash is often cheaper in those months, but cash payments usually don't count toward your deductible. We can price both before you decide.
Cash prices without insurance, compared
Sources: Lilly and Novo Nordisk published self-pay terms; list prices as shown on TrumpRx.gov. Zepbound vials at 7.5–15 mg rise to $599–$1,049 if refilled more than 45 days apart.
Two things stand out:
- Pills are now the cheapest way in. The Wegovy pill and the new Ozempic pill start at $149, and both stay at $299 or less at their higher doses.
- Zepbound costs more in cash but loses more weight. It's $449 a month at maintenance versus $349 for Wegovy, but averaged 20.2% weight loss versus 13.7% for semaglutide in a head-to-head trial. See our Zepbound results. Your prescriber weighs results; we can show you the cost side.
GoodRx, Costco and TrumpRx: same prices, different storefronts
Search for a GLP-1 coupon and you'll find "deals" from discount apps, warehouse clubs and the government's TrumpRx site. For brand GLP-1s, these mostly lead to the same manufacturer cash prices:
The practical takeaway: don't pay a membership fee or a telehealth subscription just to get a GLP-1 coupon. The cash price is set by Lilly or Novo. What changes is where you pick it up, whether it's delivered, and whether a pharmacist is checking your other medicines. Some of these prices also work at local pharmacies. For example, Lilly's Zepbound KwikPen self-pay card is accepted at many retail chains, though not at Arrow Pharmacy. If that card is your cheapest route, we'll tell you and point you to LillyDirect.
Rules that trip people up
- Government insurance blocks the cards. If you're on Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE or VA coverage, you can't use a manufacturer savings card, even if you'd prefer to pay cash with it. Use the Medicare Bridge or your plan's coverage.
- The prescription must match the card. Zepbound's card requires an on-label prescription (weight or sleep apnea). Diabetes drugs prescribed off-label for weight may not qualify.
- Cash doesn't build your deductible. Self-pay purchases usually don't count toward your insurance deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
- Yearly limits. The Zepbound and Mounjaro cards allow up to 13 fills and have annual caps ($1,300 and $1,950).
- Refill timing. Zepbound vials at 7.5 mg and up keep their $449 price only if refilled within 45 days of the last delivery.
- Cards expire. Several current cards end December 31, 2026. Re-check before your January fill.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a coupon for Zepbound?
Yes, two. With commercial insurance that covers Zepbound, the Zepbound Savings Card can bring a 1- to 3-month fill down to as little as $25, but it takes off at most $100 a month and $1,300 a year. If your commercial plan does not cover it, the card brings single-dose pens to as low as $499. The separate KwikPen Self-Pay Savings Card is open to anyone, including the uninsured, and gives the self-pay price at the pharmacy: $299 for 2.5 mg, $399 for 5 mg and $449 for 7.5–15 mg. Both expire December 31, 2026.
How do I get Wegovy for $25?
You need commercial insurance that covers Wegovy and an eligible prescription. The Wegovy savings offer then lowers your cost to as little as $25 a month, with a maximum of $100 in savings per month. If your plan's copay is more than about $125, you'll pay more than $25. Without coverage, Novo's self-pay price is $199 a month for the first two months on the starting doses, then $349, or $149 to $299 for the Wegovy pill.
Is there a Mounjaro savings card?
Yes. With commercial coverage you may pay as little as $25 for up to a 3-month supply, with up to $150 off per month ($450 per 3-month fill) and $1,950 per calendar year, which is a higher cap than the Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic cards. Without coverage the card can bring a month to as low as $499. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes, and the card can't be used with Medicare, Medicaid or other government insurance.
Can I use a GLP-1 coupon with Medicare?
No. Manufacturer savings cards exclude Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA and other government plans. Medicare members have a separate option: from July 2026 through December 2027, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge offers Wegovy (pen or pill), the Zepbound KwikPen and Foundayo for $50 a month to eligible Part D members using them for weight loss. Ozempic and Mounjaro for diabetes are covered under regular Part D rules.
Does GoodRx work for Zepbound or Ozempic?
GoodRx's GLP-1 offers follow the manufacturers' cash-price programs rather than adding a deeper discount. For Ozempic and Wegovy that means $199 a month introductory pricing for the starting doses, then $349. For Zepbound, the cheapest cash route is Lilly's own self-pay pricing (from $299 with the KwikPen card, through LillyDirect or participating pharmacies; Arrow Pharmacy can't process that card). A GoodRx coupon also can't be combined with insurance or a manufacturer card in the same fill.
Is TrumpRx cheaper than the manufacturer price?
For GLP-1s, TrumpRx lists the same cash prices the manufacturers offer: Wegovy pill $149, Wegovy pen $199 and Ozempic $199 for introductory months, and Zepbound $299. TrumpRx says these prices are only for cash-paying patients, and that insured patients should compare them with their insurance.
Should I use my insurance or pay cash for a GLP-1?
If your plan covers the drug and your copay is under about $125 (or $175 for Mounjaro), the savings card wins. If you have a high deductible you haven't met, your plan may charge close to the full price, and the card only takes $100–$150 off; paying the self-pay price can be cheaper, but cash payments usually don't count toward your deductible. We can price both ways before you fill.
Do GLP-1 savings cards expire?
Yes. The Zepbound and Mounjaro cards say savings end December 31, 2026, and Novo's self-pay offers carry their own end dates. Programs are renewed or changed each year, so re-check terms in December before your January fill.
What is the cheapest GLP-1 without insurance?
By published cash price, the cheapest starting options are the Wegovy pill and Ozempic pill at $149 a month for the lowest dose, followed by Wegovy or Ozempic pens at $199 for the first two months. For maintenance doses, Wegovy and Ozempic (up to 1 mg) are $349 a month, Zepbound is $449, and the Mounjaro card's not-covered price is $499. What's cheapest for you also depends on which drug and dose your prescriber chooses.
Why is my "$25" GLP-1 card charging me more?
Almost always because of the monthly cap. The Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic cards cover at most $100 of your cost per month (Mounjaro: $150). If your plan's copay is $300, the card covers $100 and you pay $200. Other common reasons are an unmet deductible, a prescription that doesn't match the card's approved use, or a fill beyond the yearly limit.
