How Much Does Tirzepatide Cost Without Insurance?

At Body Good, compounded tirzepatide starts at a $315 one-time consultation that covers any starting dose, with subscription plans from $259–$319 per month depending on your stage. You don't need insurance, and you'll see the full price before you commit to anything.

What you actually pay

Here's the real pricing — no "starting at," no surprise add-ons at checkout.

The longer plans cost less per month because we'd rather you stay consistent than churn. That's the whole pricing philosophy in one line.

My honest take

The weight-loss industry hides price on purpose. You click through three pages, give up your email, book a call — and then someone quotes you. We think that's backwards. If you can't see the number up front, assume it's because the number isn't friendly.

Brand tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) typically runs well over a thousand dollars a month at retail without coverage, which is why most people paying cash choose a compounded route. Both are legitimate. Compounded is usually the cheaper cash path; brand may win if your insurance covers it. We'll tell you which is right for you — even when it isn't the one that pays us most.

How to know which path is cheaper for you

1. If you have insurance, check coverage first. Our eligibility check is $25 and tells you whether your plan covers a GLP-1 and what a prior authorization would require — before you spend on medication.
2. If you're paying cash, compounded tirzepatide is almost always the lower-cost route, and the price above is what you pay, flat.
3. If you're not sure, start with eligibility. Worst case you've spent $25 to learn your real options.
