Brand-name GLP-1
Zepbound® Online, With a Licensed Provider
Zepbound® is an FDA-approved tirzepatide medication made by Eli Lilly. Through Forva, an independent provider licensed in your state reviews your intake and, if appropriate, sends your prescription through LillyDirect. You pay a $99/month Forva membership for your care, and Lilly's self-pay price for the medication ($299 to $449 a month by dose) to the pharmacy that fills it.
- ✓Licensed provider review
- ✓Prescription sent through LillyDirect if appropriate
- ✓Lilly's self-pay price, with no markup from Forva
- ✓Dose changes, refills and care-team messages in your patient portal
The $99membership is charged at checkout and renews monthly until you cancel. If your provider decides treatment isn't appropriate, it's refunded in full. It doesn't include the medication.
Zepbound carries serious risks, including a boxed warning. See important safety information.
What Zepbound costs through Forva
Two separate charges: your Forva membership, and the medication at Lilly's self-pay price, paid to the pharmacy that fills your prescription.
| Weekly dose | Lilly self-pay price | Forva membership | Total a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | $299 | $99 | $398 |
| 5 mg | $399 | $99 | $498 |
| 7.5 mg to 15 mg | $449 | $99 | $548 |
Lilly's self-pay prices require each refill within 45 days of the previous delivery. Outside that window, Lilly's regular prices of $499 at 7.5 mg and $699 at 10 mg and above apply.
Medication prices are set by Eli Lilly, current as of September 2026, and can change. This path is self-pay only: Forva doesn't bill insurance, and prescriptions sent through LillyDirect from Forva are self-pay.
What the $99 membership includes
- ✓Review of your intake by an independent provider licensed in your state
- ✓Your prescription sent through LillyDirect, if appropriate
- ✓Dose changes and refills, decided by your provider as you go
- ✓A check-in every 3 months
- ✓Messages with the clinical team in your patient portal
- ✓Support from the Forva team by text and email
Good to know
- The membership doesn't include the medication or insurance billing.
- It renews monthly until you cancel. Email support@forvahealth.com at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current month.
- If you're prescribed but decide not to buy the medication, email us within 14 days of approval: we keep a $50 professional services fee and refund the remaining $49.
- Prefer one price with the medication included? Compounded tirzepatide is a separate option at $299 every 4 weeks. It isn't FDA-approved and isn't the same as Zepbound. See compounded tirzepatide.
How it works
Step 1
Complete your intake
Answer questions about your health history and goals online, choose Zepbound, and pay the $99 membership at checkout.
Step 2
A licensed provider reviews it
An independent provider licensed in your state decides whether Zepbound is appropriate. Not everyone qualifies, and some states require a short video visit.
Step 3
Buy the medication from Lilly's pharmacy partner
If prescribed, your prescription goes through LillyDirect, and Lilly's payment request usually arrives within about 72 hours. The pharmacy ships the medication to you; dosing instructions and care-team messages are in your patient portal.
Important safety information
GLP-1 medications can cause side effects, most commonly nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation, and carry serious risks. Labeling for FDA-approved semaglutide and tirzepatide products includes a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors. Your provider reviews these risks before prescribing.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Zepbound cost through Forva?
$99 a month for the Forva membership, plus Lilly's self-pay price for the medication: $299 a month at 2.5 mg, $399 at 5 mg and $449 at 7.5 mg to 15 mg. Lilly sets these prices and can change them.
Is the medication included in the membership?
No. The membership covers your provider review, sending your prescription, dose changes and refills, and ongoing support. You pay for the medication separately, at Lilly's self-pay price.
Does Forva bill insurance?
No. This path is self-pay only. Forva doesn't bill insurance, and prescriptions sent through LillyDirect from Forva are self-pay.
What if I'm not prescribed?
If your provider decides treatment isn't appropriate, the membership charge is refunded in full.
What if I'm prescribed but decide not to buy the medication?
Email support@forvahealth.com within 14 days of approval. Because your provider visit has already taken place, we keep a $50 professional services fee and refund the remaining $49 of that month's membership. The refund cancels your membership and any open prescription.
What is the 45-day refill rule?
Lilly's self-pay prices require each refill within 45 days of the previous delivery. Outside that window, Lilly's regular prices of $499 at 7.5 mg and $699 at 10 mg and above apply.
Where does my Zepbound come from?
Your prescription goes through LillyDirect, which sends it to a licensed partner pharmacy. That pharmacy bills you Lilly's self-pay price and ships the medication to you. Lilly's payment request usually arrives within about 72 hours of approval.
How do I cancel the membership?
Email support@forvahealth.com at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current month, and you won't be charged again after that.
Is Zepbound the same as compounded tirzepatide?
No. Zepbound is an FDA-approved tirzepatide medication made by Eli Lilly. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved, is not a generic version of Zepbound, and is not the same product. Forva offers both; your provider decides what's appropriate.
