How Much Does Orforglipron Cost?
Foundayo (orforglipron) is a brand-name drug with one manufacturer price: Eli Lilly's self-pay price through LillyDirect starts at $149/month for the lowest dose and rises to as much as $299/month at higher doses. Telehealth platforms charge the medication at or near that price, but many add a membership or program fee on top, so the all-in monthly cost differs much more between platforms than the drug price does. People with commercial insurance may pay as little as $25/month with Lilly's savings card if they're eligible, and the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge prices it at $50/month for qualifying Part D members.

Medication price vs. program fee
When comparing Foundayo offers, separate the two parts. The medication price is set by Lilly's self-pay tiers and rises with your dose. The program fee pays for the platform's prescriber visits, messaging, and coaching. Some platforms fold it into one price, while others charge a separate monthly membership on top. Add both together and look at the price at your expected maintenance dose, not just the starting dose.
Why the price changes over time
Foundayo starts at the lowest dose and steps up every few weeks. Lilly's self-pay price is tiered by dose, so most people pay more after the first months than at the start. Intro offers on the program fee can also end after the first month. Compare offers on what you'd pay at month three and beyond.
Insurance and Medicare
Commercial coverage for weight-loss drugs varies widely by employer plan. Lilly's savings card can bring the cost down to as little as $25/month for eligible people with coverage. Standard Medicare Part D doesn't cover weight-loss-only drugs, but the time-limited Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, running through December 31, 2027, prices Foundayo at $50/month for Part D members who meet its eligibility rules.
Foundayo vs. other GLP-1s on cost
At self-pay prices, Foundayo is priced similarly to the Wegovy pill and below brand-name injectable pens. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide often cost less per month, but they are different products without FDA approval. There is no legitimate compounded orforglipron.

- ✓Compare platforms on the all-in price at your maintenance dose, including any separate membership fee.
