The Lilly savings card caps eligible commercial-insurance patients at $25/month but excludes Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE. Non-covered commercial patients pay ~$573/month.

Why the Mounjaro Savings Card matters

Mounjaro list price is ~$1,080/month. Without the savings card, even commercial patients can see copays of $80–$200 per fill on non-preferred tier placements. The savings card flattens that to $25/month regardless of your plan’s copay structure, as long as your plan covers Mounjaro for T2D.

The 2026 eligibility grid

  • Commercial insurance covering Mounjaro: Savings card applies. $25/mo copay.
  • Commercial insurance not covering Mounjaro: Appeal PA or switch drugs. Savings card doesn’t help.
  • Medicare Part D: Card doesn’t apply (government benefit exclusion). Part D copay rules.
  • Medicaid: Card doesn’t apply.
  • Uninsured / cash pay: Card doesn’t apply. Consider other T2D GLP-1s with cash pricing.
  • VA / TRICARE: Card doesn’t apply. Use VA pharmacy benefit.

Practical tips for maximizing the card

  1. Re-enroll each January. Cards don’t auto-roll year to year.
  2. Update the card info at your pharmacy if you change pharmacies.
  3. If your pharmacy says the card didn’t apply, ask the pharmacy tech to rerun — sometimes it’s a transaction-order issue.
  4. 90-day fills: savings card typically covers 1-month supply at $25 or 3-month supply at $75. Confirm your plan’s supported fill quantities.
  5. Stack with HSA/FSA: pay the $25 copay with pre-tax dollars for additional savings.

What if you switch to Zepbound for weight loss?

If you have both T2D and obesity, your clinician may transition you from Mounjaro (T2D) to Zepbound (obesity) if your plan covers Zepbound and has better AOM coverage. The drugs are chemically identical (both are tirzepatide) — you’re effectively switching which formulary category you’re billed under. Re-apply for the Zepbound Savings Card separately.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Mounjaro Savings Card do?

It lowers your Mounjaro copay to $25/mo for a 1-month supply ($75 for 3-month) for eligible patients with commercial insurance that covers Mounjaro for T2D. If your insurance covers Mounjaro at a $50–$150 copay, the card drops you to $25.

Who qualifies?

Adults with a Mounjaro prescription for T2D, U.S. residents, with commercial (non-government) insurance that covers Mounjaro. Excluded: Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, any other government-funded prescription drug benefit. If you're uninsured or your commercial plan doesn't cover Mounjaro, the savings card doesn't apply.

How do I enroll?

Go to mounjaro.lilly.com, click the savings card link, and complete the digital enrollment form — it takes under 2 minutes. You'll get an instant card with BIN, PCN, Group, and ID numbers. Show it at the pharmacy counter with your insurance card. The pharmacy processes insurance first, then applies the savings card to lower your copay.

What's the annual maximum savings?

$1,950 per calendar year. For most T2D patients covered commercially, that's more than enough — $25/mo × 12 = $300, well under the cap. The cap matters more for patients with high copays getting a large per-fill discount.

Does the card expire?

Yes — check the card for the expiration date (typically end of the current calendar year). Enroll again each January to renew.

Can I use the card if I have Medicare?

No. Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and other government-funded prescription benefits are explicitly excluded. For Medicare Part D patients with Mounjaro coverage, your Part D copay applies; the savings card cannot stack.

What if my insurance doesn't cover Mounjaro?

The savings card doesn't help. Your options: (1) prior-auth appeal, (2) switch to another T2D GLP-1 that your plan does cover, (3) cash-pay at list price (~$1,080/mo), (4) ask about samples from your prescriber. There's no Mounjaro equivalent to the LillyDirect Zepbound self-pay program.

Is the Mounjaro Savings Card the same as the Zepbound Savings Card?

No — they're separate programs. Zepbound Savings Card reduces AOM-covered Zepbound copays. Mounjaro Savings Card reduces T2D-covered Mounjaro copays. If you have both Mounjaro (T2D) and Zepbound (obesity) prescriptions, you can use both cards.
