What will the whole care plan cost?

A headline price is only a starting point. Ask for the medicine, visits, tests, and any membership to be shown separately, then ask which charges repeat.

Source check: September 26, 2026.

Find out which kind of price you are seeing

As of September 26, 2026, list prices, maker cash offers, discount-card prices, insurance copays, and government-program prices are different figures for the same weight or diabetes product.

A list price is a maker’s published price. A copay is the part a patient pays through insurance. A self-pay price means paying outside insurance.

Ask: “Is this the price I qualify for, and what will I pay after any opening offer?”

A useful cash-price range, with limits

On September 26, 2026, maker cash offers checked for Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, and Foundayo mostly ran from about $149 to $499 per month. The price depended on the medicine, strength, and offer terms; it is not a quote for your care.

For example, tablet offers for Wegovy, Ozempic, and Foundayo started at $149. Mounjaro pen offers started at $499. Ask for the price of the exact medicine and strength being offered to you.

For certain Zepbound strengths, the $449 offer required either the first purchase at that strength or a refill no later than 45 days after the last delivery. Ordering a refill later meant a price of $499 or $699, depending on the strength.

Lilly’s offers for Zepbound, Mounjaro, and Foundayo used a 28-day supply. Wegovy offers used a box of four pens or a bottle of 30 tablets; an Ozempic pen offer used a box with one pen. Ask how many days your quoted package will last.

Cash spending under those offers does not count toward an insurance plan’s deductible or yearly cap on what you pay.

Before your insurance plan pays for certain care, you must first pay an amount called the deductible.

Many offers checked on September 26, 2026, have terms ending December 31, 2026. Those dates call for a new price check, not a prediction of what comes next.

Ask what is bundled

A monthly membership can be a fee for the care service, with the medicine billed separately. This was common in online weight-care offers checked on September 26, 2026. Ask the service to show both charges in your quote.

Ask whether follow-up visits, test review, delivery, and messages are included. Ask what happens to recurring charges if no medicine is prescribed.

Get the cancellation and refund terms in writing before paying. Keep the written quote beside the medicine name.

Keep the source in reach

Before you move on

Compare complete costs on the same terms. An opening offer and an ongoing bill answer different questions.
