Does the Zepbound savings card work with telehealth prescriptions?

Yes, Zepbound savings cards can generally be used with telehealth prescriptions, provided the telehealth provider is licensed in your state and can prescribe Zepbound. Zepbound is a prescription medication, and telehealth services that offer prescription fulfillment typically accept these types of savings cards.

Here's a breakdown of why and what to keep in mind:

• How Savings Cards Work: Zepbound savings cards, like those offered by Eli Lilly (the manufacturer), are designed to reduce your out-of-pocket costs for the medication. They work by being submitted to your pharmacy at the time of your prescription fill.
• Telehealth Prescription Process: When you get a prescription through a telehealth service, the doctor will send that prescription electronically to a pharmacy of your choice.
• Pharmacy is Key: The savings card is applied at the pharmacy when you pick up or have your Zepbound prescription filled. As long as the telehealth provider is legitimate and the prescription is valid, your chosen pharmacy will be able to process the savings card regardless of whether the prescription originated from an in-person doctor's visit or a telehealth appointment.

Here are some specific telehealth providers that may offer Zepbound prescriptions and where you could potentially use your savings card:

• Cerebelly: While primarily known for children's nutrition, Cerebelly also offers telehealth services for adults. They have a focus on metabolic health and may prescribe weight management medications like Zepbound. You would typically use your savings card at a retail pharmacy after receiving a prescription from Cerebelly.
• Hims & Hers: This platform offers a range of telehealth services, including those for weight management. If a clinician on Hims & Hers determines Zepbound is appropriate for you, they will send a prescription to your chosen pharmacy. You can then use your Zepbound savings card there.
• Push Health: Push Health is a telehealth marketplace that connects patients with prescribers for various conditions, including obesity. You can find providers who can prescribe Zepbound, and then the prescription is sent to a pharmacy where your savings card can be applied.

Important Considerations:

• Provider Qualification: Ensure the telehealth provider you choose is licensed to practice in your state and can legally prescribe Zepbound.
• Pharmacy Choice: Some telehealth services may have preferred pharmacies. However, you generally have the right to choose your own pharmacy, which is where you'll use your savings card.
• Savings Card Terms and Conditions: Always review the terms and conditions of the Zepbound savings card. There may be eligibility requirements or limitations on where it can be used. The most common requirement is that you have commercial (non-government) insurance that covers Zepbound.
• Manufacturer Website: For the most accurate and up-to-date information on Zepbound savings programs, always check the official Zepbound website or the Eli Lilly patient savings program page. They will have details on how to enroll and use the card.

In summary, the Zepbound savings card is a pharmacy benefit, so as long as you are obtaining a valid prescription from a legitimate telehealth provider, you should be able to use the savings card at your pharmacy.
