How direct-pay pricing works
You pay the manufacturer's self-pay rate for the medication directly to their pharmacy. Valitide doesn't mark it up. Your subscription stays the same regardless of dose.

Zepbound (tirzepatide) ships direct from LillyDirect— Eli Lilly’s self-pay pharmacy — at the manufacturer’s published rate. No insurance billing, no markup. Your provider writes the prescription; LillyDirect ships it to your door.

Frequently asked questions
I just lost insurance coverage for Zepbound or Wegovy. Can you help?
Yes — that's exactly what Valitide is built for. Direct-pay through LillyDirect or NovoCare Pharmacy is often the same or lower cost than what most plans charge after a coverage denial, with none of the prior-authorization waits. The same is true if you're moving off compounded GLP-1s and want to switch to FDA-approved brand-name medication.
Does Valitide bill insurance?
No. Valitide is built for direct-pay access through the manufacturer's pharmacy. We don't submit claims to insurance, and we don't handle prior authorizations. If your insurance covers GLP-1s and you want to use that benefit, a full-service telehealth platform is a better fit. We exist for patients whose insurance won't cover GLP-1s — or who'd rather skip insurance entirely.
What does the medication cost?
You pay the manufacturer's published self-pay rate directly to LillyDirect (for Zepbound) or NovoCare Pharmacy (for Wegovy). Prices vary by dose. See the breakdown above for current ranges. Valitide doesn't add any markup to the medication.
What does the $99/mo Valitide subscription include?
It covers your licensed provider, ongoing care, monthly clinical check-ins before each refill, dose adjustments, and platform access. Same price regardless of which medication you're prescribed.
Are there any other fees?
No. The $99/mo subscription plus the manufacturer's direct-pay medication price are the only costs. No charge for messaging your provider, no charge if you're not approved, no surprise add-ons.
What if I'm not approved for treatment?
If your provider determines you're not a candidate, you won't be charged for a prescription you don't receive. The eligibility check is free.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no contracts or cancellation fees. You can pause or cancel through your account at any time.
