Off the pharmacy’s retail price.Consider Zepbound single-dose vials Certain doses of Zepbound (2.5 mg and 5 mg) are available in single-dose vials, which can be a less expensive option compared to the pens. The only catch? You have to pay out-of-pocket. If appropriate, you can get a four-week supply of single-dose vials of Zepbound through Ro at the following cash prices:$349/month for 2.5 mg dose $499/month for 5 mg dose Whether you get the single-dose vials via the Ro Body membership or LillyDirect, Eli Lilly’s self-pay pharmacy, you can get your meds delivered right to your door. (The single-dose vials aren’t available at retail pharmacies.) Bottom lineWhether or not Cigna covers Zepbound depends on the details of your specific plan, which you can find out by calling Cigna directly or using a tool such as Ro’s GLP-1 Insurance Coverage Checker. If Zepbound is covered, prior authorization may be required. If it’s not covered, you can still save on Zepbound by using the Zepbound Savings Card, if eligible, or a pharmacy discount card. You can also talk to your healthcare provider about whether another, more affordable weight loss medication could be a good fit for you.
