Does the Zepbound savings card work with telehealth prescriptions?

Yes, generally the Zepbound savings card can work with prescriptions obtained through telehealth services, provided all other eligibility requirements are met.

Here's why and what to keep in mind:

1. Legitimate Prescriptions: Prescriptions issued by licensed healthcare providers through legitimate telehealth platforms are legally valid. The Zepbound savings card program, offered by Eli Lilly, accepts valid prescriptions regardless of whether they originate from an in-person visit or a telehealth consultation.
2. Savings Card Eligibility: The key is to ensure you meet all the other terms and conditions of the savings card program. These typically include:
   • Having commercial insurance (not government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, etc.).
   • Being 18 years or older.
   • Being a resident of the U.S. or Puerto Rico.
   • Having a valid prescription for Zepbound for an FDA-approved indication.
3. Pharmacy Acceptance: Most pharmacies are accustomed to filling prescriptions from telehealth providers. As long as the prescription is sent in a standard, verifiable manner (e-prescribing, fax from the provider's office), the source typically isn't an issue for applying the savings card.

To ensure a smooth process, I recommend:

• Confirm your eligibility directly on the official Zepbound website (managed by Eli Lilly) before getting your prescription.
• Inform your telehealth provider that you plan to use the savings card, so they can ensure all necessary information is included on the prescription.
• Verify with your specific pharmacy that they accept telehealth prescriptions and are familiar with processing the Zepbound savings card.

In summary, the method of obtaining the prescription (telehealth vs. in-person) is less important than the legitimacy of the prescription itself and your adherence to the savings card's terms and conditions.
