3 Things You Must Know Before Using Zepbound: Discover the Cost-Saving Hacks You Need!

Considering Zepbound for weight loss? In this video, we’ll go over essential factors to keep in mind when using Zepbound, including how to protect muscle health, manage costs, and understand insurance coverage.
💪 Muscle Health: Weight loss often results in the loss of both fat and muscle. Since muscle supports strength, metabolism, and overall health, it's crucial to preserve it. We discuss how tracking body composition with tools like specialized scales or healthcare measurements can help monitor muscle changes. Increasing protein intake (aiming for about 0.8 to 1 gram per pound of target body weight) and incorporating weight training 2-3 times a week are key strategies to support muscle during your weight loss journey.
💲 Cost-Saving Options: Zepbound can be expensive, with out-of-pocket costs reaching over $1,000 a month. The Lilly Direct program offers discounts, providing the starting dose for under $400 per month-a significant reduction. This can make the medication more accessible, especially if insurance doesn’t cover it.
📋 Insurance and Coverage Tips: Insurance coverage for Zepbound can vary widely and often depends on the specifics of your employer’s plan. In states like Massachusetts, employers have a choice in offering this coverage. We share tips on navigating coverage options, including checking with both your healthcare provider and HR department to understand your plan’s details and the steps to secure coverage if possible.
