Frequently asked
Do I need a doctor to use LillyDirect?
Yes. LillyDirect fulfills the prescription and handles direct-to-patient shipping, but a licensed clinician must write the script. Ondoc provides that clinician.
Is LillyDirect cheaper than insurance for Zepbound?
Rarely. When commercial insurance covers Zepbound, copays with the Lilly savings card run $25–$99. LillyDirect self-pay ($349–$499) wins only when insurance denies coverage or you're uninsured.
Can I switch between LillyDirect and insurance mid-therapy?
Yes. Your Ondoc clinician can re-route your script to your commercial pharmacy if coverage is later approved or renewed.
