You may be able to save on obesity care and medication
Savings may vary based on your unique situation, including insurance coverage.
Your healthcare plan provider (private or government-sponsored insurance) may cover more than you think. Call your plan provider to find out how much you would pay for:
- Obesity-focused care
- Telehealth or in-person doctor visits
- Select Lilly medications
If you don’t have enough prescription coverage to afford your medication, there are still options to explore.
Check other pharmacies. The price of your medication can change based on pharmacy and coverage.
Discover prescription savings programs. Lilly has a savings program that could lower or eliminate the cost of Lilly obesity medications for eligible people.
Health plans often require patients to get approval before they cover obesity medication. This approval is called “prior authorization.”
Many telehealth providers and in-person doctors can help you coordinate the prior authorization process. Ask your obesity care provider about prior authorization support.
Disclosure: The independent service providers featured by LillyDirect™ represent just a handful of the telehealth providers, doctor finder tools, or online pharmacies available elsewhere that you are free to choose from.
