Does the Zepbound savings card work with telehealth prescriptions?

Yes, the Zepbound savings card (from Eli Lilly) can work with telehealth prescriptions, but with some important caveats:

Key Points:

• The savings card works based on how the prescription is filled, not necessarily how it was prescribed
• It works at participating retail pharmacies (like CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, etc.)
• The prescription just needs to be a valid, legitimate prescription — telehealth providers can write these

Potential Issues:

• Some telehealth platforms dispense through their own specialty pharmacies, which may not participate in the Lilly savings program
• Platforms like Hims & Hers or Ro have historically used compounded tirzepatide, which is a different product and the savings card does not apply

Better Telehealth Options for Zepbound:

If you want to use the savings card, consider telehealth services that send prescriptions to retail pharmacies, such as:

• LifeMD
• Sesame
• Henry Meds

My Recommendation:

Confirm with your telehealth provider that they'll send the prescription to a retail pharmacy of your choice, then verify that pharmacy participates at zepbound.com or call Lilly directly at their savings program number.
