What will the whole bill be after any first-month offer ends?
Which charges cover the visit, medicine, tests and delivery?
Cash price
Cash price means the bill paid without insurance.
The September 2026 review covered six online care services; most billed for medicine on top of a monthly care charge.
That is a membership fee: you pay again each month.
On 26 September 2026, Zepbound (tirzepatide) vials, or small medicine bottles, and its multi-dose pen had regular cash prices of $299–$699 per month.
Multi-dose means the pen holds medicine for more than one shot.
These are medicine prices; the care bill is a separate question.
The September 2026 terms included a $449 monthly offer for some Zepbound bottles and multi-dose pens.
For each refill under that offer, the purchase deadline was 45 days after delivery of the previous supply.
Otherwise, the regular monthly price for those products was $499–$699.
Ask which price applies to the exact product in your prescription.
The published terms run through 31 December 2026; ask for a fresh quote.
Price note: dated cash terms from the medicine maker.

Will my plan pay for the named product for the reason it is prescribed?
Prior approval
Prior approval means your insurer must agree to pay before you can get the medicine through your plan.
Is prior approval needed, and who will request it? What will I owe if the plan says no?
Ask for the covered product name and your own payment amount in writing.
