Mounjaro Cost: List Price, Savings Card and Medicare
Lilly’s list price for a 28-day supply of Mounjaro is $1,112.16, but most people do not pay that. What you pay depends on your coverage: commercially insured people may pay as little as $25 with Lilly’s card, and Lilly says about 8 in 10 Medicare Part D patients pay $0 to $50 for a 28-day supply.
What Mounjaro is
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription injection from Eli Lilly for adults with type 2 diabetes. This page is about cost only; it is not advice about whether a medicine is right for you. Your care team and the FDA label are the places for that.

List price versus what you pay
A list price is set by the maker before rebates and discounts. Plans negotiate lower prices, and your share is a copay, coinsurance or your deductible. A savings card works only with commercial insurance and is separate from any government program. If you have Medicare, Lilly points you to your plan for exact costs.
Medicare Part D
Part D plans each have their own list of covered drugs and tiers, and some require prior authorization. Lilly also mentions the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan, a free option that spreads costs over the year; ask your plan if it fits. For other Medicare diabetes costs see CGMs and test strips.
Safety note on where to buy
Only use a licensed pharmacy with a prescription from your clinician. We never link to compounded, “research” or grey-market sellers. Compare Mounjaro with other medicine costs on GLP-1 cost, and add what you pay to the supply cost calculator.
