Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk to slash weight loss drug prices, offer some Medicare coverage

It might be due being past the donut hole for the year. January it starts all over again.

Highly recommend 90 day fills if her insurance offers that (technically 84) and with the overlap the script can yield 5 fills in a year (15 boxes 4x Mounjaro in my case).

That's what I'm wondering too. Like on my regular plan, I've met my deductible so certain things are now free. But come January 1st, they're back to paying. Not sure if Medicare is the same or not.

Whatever it is I'm glad for her and everyone else that sees a price drop.

Medicare was kind of the reverse of that .. before Obamacare fixed the donut hole it used to be that after Medicare paid so much for your prescriptions your costs would jump up until the new year started. It was annoying.

It's wild how my perspective has changed. I look at this, shrug, and say "Who cares that you're dropping prices to three hundred bucks a month? I can get good, well-tested grey for two-fiddy bucks a YEAR. Don't pee on my leg and tell me the rain is nice this time of year."

So true! I'll stick to my grey. Thanks! I'm stocked up.

This will be interesting. It won't be generic in the US until 2031, but the US market will still be impacted by it becoming generic in Canada, Brazil, and China.
