Your YourMD physician sends your prescription directly to the appropriate pharmacy. Many of our medications have manufacturer savings programs, copay cards, and patient assistance that can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
This page has every link you need.
Your YourMD physician selects the pharmacy that best fits your clinical and financial situation. Here is a quick guide to the three paths.
Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly ship FDA-approved branded medications directly to you. Savings cards can bring your cost to $0/mo (insured) or $149–299/mo (self-pay).
Your prescription goes to any retail pharmacy. Use a free discount card (GoodRx, SingleCare, RxSaver) to reduce cost — often 40–80% off retail price on generic medications.
When branded GLP-1s are unavailable or unaffordable, your physician may prescribe a compounded version from an FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility. Starting at $199/mo.
Leading-edge weight loss and diabetes medications routed directly to manufacturer pharmacies.

Many branded medications require prior authorization from your insurance company. Here is what to expect for each drug — and how to get help.
| Drug | What to expect | Resource |
|---|---|---|
| Wegovy / Ozempic | Prior authorization commonly required. NovoCare has a dedicated PA support team. If denied, an appeal process is available. Patient assistance available for income-eligible uninsured patients. | novocare.com |
| Zepbound / Mounjaro | PA often required for Zepbound (obesity). Mounjaro (T2D) typically easier to approve. Having an OSA diagnosis documented alongside obesity helps Zepbound coverage significantly. | lillydirect.com |
| Foundayo | New approval (Apr 2026) — insurance coverage developing. Lilly savings card ($149–299/mo through Dec 2026) provides self-pay access while coverage expands. | lillydirect.com |
| Nurtec ODT | PA required by many plans. Pfizer's Migraine Patient Access Coordinator handles appeals directly. First fill at no cost while PA is pending — you won't be stuck waiting. | 1-866-222-4183 |
| Qulipta | Most plans require step therapy (prior failure of ≥2 preventive agents — e.g. topiramate, propranolol). QULIPTA Complete provides a 2-month free bridge supply while PA is pending. Document prior treatment failures at your consultation. | qulipta.com/savings |
| Farxiga | Generally covered for T2D with PA. AZ&Me provides free medication for uninsured patients who qualify. Income-based eligibility applies. | azandme.com |
| Jardiance | Generally covered for T2D and heart failure. BI Cares provides free medication for uninsured patients. Savings card for commercially insured. | 1-800-556-8317 |
If you are uninsured or underinsured and cannot afford your medication, manufacturer patient assistance programs (PAPs) may provide it free or at very low cost. Income limits apply. Your YourMD physician can write the necessary supporting documentation.
