LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary
care services, today announced it is integrating with LillyDirect
pharmacy provider, Gifthealth, to offer streamlined access of
single-dose vials of Lilly’s prescription obesity treatment
Zepbound® (tirzepatide) to eligible LifeMD patients. Integration
with the LillyDirect® self-pay pharmacy channel will provide a
seamless solution to a patient’s Zepbound fulfillment journey while
continuing to offer more accessible pricing and direct shipment to
patients.
LifeMD’s comprehensive weight management
offering provides a turnkey solution for patients seeking clinical
care to lose weight and to reach their healthcare objectives. With
Lilly’s recent launch of additional doses of Zepbound vials and
reduced pricing of existing vial doses, the integration will
provide LifeMD’s eligible on-label patients with streamlined access
to this treatment, if prescribed. Zepbound is the first and only
FDA-approved dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist
and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) obesity
medication.
“We commend Lilly’s initiative to offer more
accessible solutions for obesity treatment with the recent launch
of the new Zepbound Self Pay Journey Program. Our integration with
LillyDirect’s self-pay pharmacy provider further enhances LifeMD
patients’ experience with seamless access to branded Zepbound vials
at the newly reduced self-pay price. This new integration
complements our insurance-sponsored pharmacy programs, where we
continue to see rising approval rates for branded GLP-1 therapies
like Zepbound,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and CEO of LifeMD.
“LifeMD remains dedicated to elevating access to quality medical
care, which starts with offering healthcare that is more
patient-centric, affordable and convenient. We believe that
commitment uniquely positions LifeMD’s weight management program to
make healthy living accessible for our patients.”
LifeMD’s rapidly growing weight management
program provides primary care, remote monitoring, diagnostic
testing and prescription services to eligible patients seeking to
access a medically supported weight-loss solution. The Company’s
weight management program has grown to approximately 75,000 active
patient subscribers as of February 2025. LifeMD remains at the
forefront of the rapidly growing weight-loss market with a highly
differentiated and comprehensive offering.
Zepbound is available for on-label self-pay
patients in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg and 10 mg dose vials through
LillyDirect’s self-pay pharmacy channel. Lilly recently reduced the
price of the 2.5 mg and 5 mg vials and announced the launch of the
7.5 mg and 10 mg vials.
