Does the Zepbound savings card work with telehealth prescriptions?

Yes, in most cases, the Zepbound savings card does work with prescriptions obtained through telehealth services.

Here's why and what to keep in mind:

1. Valid Prescription is Key: The Zepbound savings card requires a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. The method by which you obtained that prescription – whether in-person or via a legitimate telehealth consultation – generally doesn't affect the card's eligibility. As long as the telehealth provider is licensed to prescribe in your state and provides a legitimate prescription, it should be accepted.

2. Pharmacy Acceptance: The pharmacy filling your prescription needs to accept telehealth prescriptions and be able to process the savings card. Most major retail pharmacies (like CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Kroger Pharmacy, Walmart Pharmacy, etc.) are well-versed in both.

3. Other Eligibility Criteria Still Apply: Remember, the savings card has other terms and conditions you'll need to meet, regardless of how you got your prescription:

   • You must be commercially insured (not covered by government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, etc.).
   • You might have other requirements regarding previous fills, age, etc. Always check the official Zepbound savings card website for the most up-to-date terms.

Specific Telehealth Services That Often Prescribe Zepbound:

Many reputable telehealth platforms focus on weight management and are set up to prescribe medications like Zepbound when medically appropriate. Some popular options include:

• Calibrate: A comprehensive program that combines medication, coaching, and metabolic health.
• WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence): Offers personalized plans including medication management, coaching, and lifestyle support.
• Ro (specifically their Body program): Provides access to doctors for weight loss medication, alongside coaching and support.
• PlushCare: A general telehealth platform where you can see a doctor for a range of conditions, including weight management.

Recommendation:

If you're using a telehealth service, ensure your provider sends the prescription to a pharmacy that you know and trust. Before filling, you can always call your chosen pharmacy to confirm they accept your telehealth prescription and can process the Zepbound savings card. You can also review the full terms and conditions for the Zepbound savings card on the official Zepbound website (often LillyDirect.com) for complete details.
