What does Foundayo cost if your plan covers it?
The $25 offer is for eligible adults whose commercial plan covers Foundayo. Lilly caps its payment at $100 for one month, $200 for two months, or $300 for three months. The yearly cap is $1,000 across no more than 10 fills, and the card expires on 2026-12-31. If the plan does not cover Foundayo, prices and savings caps vary by dose. Both offers require a prescription for a use covered by the FDA label.

Requirements for this price
This is Lilly’s separate Self-Pay Savings Card program. It permits up to 10 fills per calendar year and expires on 2026-12-31. The monthly savings cap is $520 at 0.8 and 2.5 mg, $470 at 5.5 mg, and $370 at 9, 14.5, or 17.2 mg. The first $299 purchase at 14.5 mg or 17.2 mg is automatic. Keeping that price requires the next purchase within 45 days of the previous delivery or receipt.
At 14.5 mg and 17.2 mg, $299 is a purchase offer with a 45-day refill clock. If the next purchase happens later, Lilly says the regular price is $349.
The $649 figure is separate from the self-pay table. Lilly calls it the wholesale acquisition cost for 30 tablets. It is a distribution price before rebates and other changes, not an offer to a patient.
The self-pay program runs outside insurance. Lilly bars reimbursement from private plans, government programs and healthcare reimbursement accounts. These payments cannot count toward your deductible or true out-of-pocket requirement.
What if you are on Medicare?
The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge price is $50 a month if you qualify. Lilly lists it for Part D users prescribed Foundayo for weight management.
Lilly lists Foundayo at $50 a month through the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge for people who qualify. You need Part D coverage and a Foundayo prescription for weight management. The program’s clinical criteria still apply; a prescription alone does not ensure coverage.
