Which online providers offer Zepbound single-dose vials through self pay?

Zepbound (tirzepatide) primarily comes in pre-filled single-dose pens, not vials, designed for easy self-injection. Many online telehealth providers offer services that can lead to a Zepbound prescription for self-pay patients, often connecting you with pharmacies that can fill the prescription and help navigate pricing.

Here are some reputable online providers that offer comprehensive weight management programs, including consultations and prescription services for medications like Zepbound, often with self-pay options:

1. Ro Body (formerly Ro's Weight Management program):

   • Why: Ro offers a dedicated online weight loss program with medical consultations, personalized treatment plans, and help with prescription fulfillment. They are well-versed in GLP-1 medications like Zepbound and often assist patients in utilizing manufacturer savings cards (like the Zepbound Savings Card) to reduce the cost of the medication itself. Their service fee covers the provider consultation and ongoing support.

2. Alpha Medical:

   • Why: Alpha Medical provides telehealth services for various conditions, including weight management. They offer virtual consultations with medical providers who can assess your eligibility for Zepbound and send prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy. They have transparent self-pay pricing for their service fees.

3. WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence):

   • Why: Now fully integrated with WeightWatchers, the Clinic offers a comprehensive approach to weight management, including consultations with clinicians who can prescribe GLP-1 medications. They focus on long-term support, diet, and exercise in addition to medication, and their self-pay membership includes access to their medical team and support in getting prescriptions filled.

4. Calibrate:

   • Why: Calibrate is a metabolic health program specifically focused on helping members lose weight using GLP-1 medications, along with coaching and lifestyle changes. While they often work with insurance, they also have self-pay options for their program, and their team helps manage prescriptions and insurance/savings card navigation for the medication itself.

5. Found Health:

   • Why: Found offers a personalized weight care program that combines prescription medication (if appropriate), coaching, and community support. They emphasize a holistic approach to sustainable weight loss, and their membership plans are typically self-pay, covering access to their medical team and resources for obtaining prescriptions.

Important Considerations for Self-Pay:

• Medication Cost: While these providers offer their services on a self-pay basis (which usually involves a monthly or quarterly fee for consultations and support), the actual cost of Zepbound is separate and very high without insurance coverage. Zepbound can cost over $1,000 per month out-of-pocket.
• Zepbound Savings Card: Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Zepbound, offers a Zepbound Savings Card that can significantly reduce the monthly cost for eligible patients, sometimes bringing it down to as low as $25 per month. Most of the providers listed above will assist you in applying for and utilizing this card.
• Eligibility: You will need to have a medical consultation with a licensed provider through these platforms to determine if Zepbound is appropriate for you based on your medical history, BMI, and other health factors.
• Pharmacy Fulfillment: Once prescribed, the medication will either be sent to a pharmacy of your choice (local or online) for pickup or delivery, or the telehealth provider may have a partnered pharmacy network that can ship it directly to you.

Always ensure you fully understand the fees for the online service and the estimated cost of the medication itself before committing to a program.
