ob/gyns, and people I had never heard of. Needs work. If the patient chooses Form Health, they would go through their treatment protocol and their HCPs could prescribe any medication they decide on, not just ZB. So Lilly direct may help some but not a game-changer(bad or good)

If they want to find care, they could access Form Health which provides Telehealth, or they can find a local obesity medicine provider through the Healthgrades doctor locator. In our zip code that function didn't work very well, the top recommendations were bariatric surgeons..

Trupill can either fill the Rx through insurance, or if not covered by insurance, accepts the Lilly discount coupon which can reduce the price to as low as $550/month. This is similar to other pharmacies, and the discount is the same, and they do not have special access to ZB.

There's been a lot of speculation flying about Lilly direct so I called someone at Lilly who knows the details. Patients can go to the site to look for obesity treatment, or if they have a prescription, they can access an independent online pharmacy, Trupill to fill their Rx.
