The Index scorecard
LillyDirect Foundayo scored on our six Cost-Efficiency Index factors. See the methodology.
Where the value is
- First-party Eli Lilly program -- highest possible manufacturer authenticity
- FDA-approved branded drug (orforglipron), not an unapproved compounded formulation
- Published self-pay starting price ($149) via savings card
- Oral pill format, no injections/needles required
The tradeoffs
- Not semaglutide or tirzepatide -- a different molecule (orforglipron), so not directly comparable on this list
- The $149 price is tied to a specific Savings Card program with its own terms, not an unconditional list price
- No clarity on whether $149 is truly the ongoing monthly cost or could change
- No disclosed state coverage or prescribing-clinician details on this specific page
The bottom line
Best for: Patients who want an FDA-approved, manufacturer-direct oral GLP-1 rather than a compounded injectable. Foundayo is Eli Lilly's own first-party, FDA-approved oral GLP-1 (orforglipron).
