Eli Lilly and Hims & Hers announced an agreement on November 6 that lets patients who are prescribed Zepbound or Foundayo by a provider on the Hims & Hers platform pay Lilly's self-pay prices without leaving it. The release also puts a compounding commitment in writing.

Under the agreement, eligible patients who receive a prescription from a licensed provider on the Hims & Hers platform can get Zepbound (tirzepatide) or Foundayo (orforglipron) at the same self-pay prices Lilly offers any patient, with the medicine shipped to their home. The joint release gives the entry prices directly: “Self-pay pricing starts at $149 per month for Foundayo and $299 per month for Zepbound.”[1]

What the agreement covers

  • Two FDA-approved Lilly drugs. Zepbound, the weekly tirzepatide injection, and Foundayo, Lilly’s daily oral GLP-1 pill.[1]
  • A prescription still comes first. Patients complete a consultation and receive a prescription only if their provider decides it is appropriate. The companies say they have committed to protecting independent clinical decision-making, so providers on the platform keep choosing the treatment they think is right for each patient.[1]
  • Prices match Lilly’s own self-pay prices. The release describes them as the same prices available to any patient, not a Hims & Hers discount.[1]

The compounding commitment

The release adds: “Hims & Hers has never offered access to compounded copies of Lilly’s GLP-1s, and has committed not to do so in the future.”[1] That sentence is about Lilly’s medicines. The release does not address compounded versions of GLP-1 drugs made by other companies.

What it means if you are paying cash

The $149 and $299 figures are starting prices for the medication. The release does not list a price for each dose, and it does not say whether a Hims & Hers membership fee applies on top, so check both before you sign up. Our guide to getting Zepbound prescribed online compares the routes to brand-name tirzepatide, including Lilly’s own self-pay pharmacy, and our rundown of where to buy Foundayo lists the services that already dispense the pill and what each charges on top of the drug.
