Alternative Online Provider:
- Ro (ro.co) also offers Zepbound vials for self-pay, shipping directly to your home after an online health questionnaire and provider consultation [5].
- Ro’s prices match LillyDirect’s reduced rates: $299 (2.5 mg), $399 (5 mg), and $449 (7.5 mg–15 mg with manufacturer offer) [5].
Recommendation: Start with LillyDirect via the Zepbound Self Pay Journey Program for the most transparent pricing and the added option of Walmart pharmacy pickup [1][4]. If you prefer a fully integrated telehealth and pharmacy experience, Ro is a reliable alternative [5]. Both providers ship Zepbound vials exclusively for self-pay patients.
