Understanding Your Cost Options
List Price
The manufacturer’s published price before any discounts or insurance. Almost nobody pays this. It serves as the baseline from which all other prices are discounted.
With Insurance
Range reflects what patients with commercial insurance typically pay as a copay. Wide variation exists depending on your specific plan, formulary tier, and deductible status.
Discount Programs
Manufacturer savings programs (like LillyDirect) or third-party discount cards (like GoodRx) can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for uninsured or under-insured patients.
Compounded
Where FDA rules allow, licensed compounding pharmacies may prepare peptides at lower cost. Compounded versions are not FDA-approved and quality varies by pharmacy.
Prices Change Frequently
Drug prices change frequently. List prices may be updated by manufacturers, discount program terms may change, and insurance coverage varies by plan and year. The prices shown reflect verified data from the date indicated on each card. Always verify current prices with your pharmacy, insurance plan, or the manufacturer's website before making financial decisions.
