Foundayo has a $649 list price. That is not what every patient pays.
The clean answer needs four different numbers: wholesale acquisition cost, insured out-of-pocket cost, a current self-pay offer, and the pharmacy quote. This guide keeps them separate and dates every manufacturer program term.
The official benchmark is $649 per 30-tablet pack.
Lilly's wholesale acquisition cost disclosure lists $649 for each 30-tablet pack of Foundayo across the 0.8, 2.5, 5.5, 9, 14.5, and 17.2 mg strengths.
Wholesale acquisition cost is a list-price benchmark. It is not the amount every patient pays. Insurance, pharmacy processing, savings eligibility, and the current self-pay program can produce a different result.

These manufacturer terms were checked July 20, 2026. They can change, and no row guarantees what a plan or pharmacy will charge.
| Price route | Current amount | What it applies to | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wholesale acquisition cost | $649 | Each 30-tablet pack across all six approved strengths | A manufacturer list price for distribution. It is not the amount every patient pays. |
| Current self-pay offer | $149 | One 30-day prescription for the 0.8 mg strength | Official program eligibility, fill limits, prescription requirements, and expiration apply. |
| Current self-pay offer | $199 | One 30-day prescription for the 2.5 mg strength | The offer is cash or self-pay and cannot be submitted for reimbursement. |
| Current self-pay offer | $299 | One 30-day prescription for 5.5, 9, 14.5, or 17.2 mg | Higher-strength continuation terms include a refill-timing condition for 14.5 and 17.2 mg. |
| Commercial insurance savings | As low as $25 | Eligible people with commercial insurance coverage for Foundayo | Not a guaranteed price. Eligibility, plan coverage, maximum savings, and program terms apply. |

What distribution starts from
The official $649 wholesale acquisition cost is a manufacturer list-price record for a 30-tablet pack. It does not include every rebate, discount, insurance decision, pharmacy price, or patient assistance result.
What the benefit design produces
A deductible, copay, coinsurance, formulary tier, prior-authorization rule, and covered pharmacy can all change the amount due. The exact plan and prescription must be checked together.
What a temporary program permits
The current Lilly self-pay prices are offer terms, not a new list price and not insurance. They require an approved-use prescription and have residency, age, fill-count, reimbursement, and expiration conditions.
What the patient is actually asked to pay
The current pharmacy result is the most practical number, but it can vary by location, inventory, strength, plan processing, program eligibility, and date. It should be verified at the point of fill.
The current terms require a prescription for an approved use, age 18 or older, and US or Puerto Rico residency. The self-pay offer permits no insurance reimbursement and lists a maximum of 10 fills per calendar year. It expires December 31, 2026 unless changed or ended earlier. Continued $299 pricing for the 14.5 and 17.2 mg strengths requires the next fill within 45 days under the published terms.

A current pharmacy result is stronger than a generic web estimate because it resolves the exact prescription, benefit, offer, and date.
Exact strength
Use the prescribed strength, quantity, and days of supply. Do not infer or change a dose from a price table.
Plan coverage
Confirm the current formulary tier, deductible, prior authorization, coinsurance, and covered pharmacy for that prescription.
Eligibility
Read the official commercial-insurance or self-pay terms on the day of the fill. Government program exclusions apply to the commercial card.
Live quote
Ask the pharmacy to process the exact route and confirm the amount due, inventory, and whether any offer was accepted.

These answers explain the published cost record. They do not determine coverage, prescribe a medicine, or quote a pharmacy.
How much is Foundayo without insurance?
Lilly's current US self-pay offer lists $149 for 0.8 mg, $199 for 2.5 mg, and $299 for 5.5, 9, 14.5, or 17.2 mg per 30-day prescription. These are conditional program prices, not a universal cash price. The official terms require a prescription for an approved use, age 18 or older, US or Puerto Rico residency, self-pay treatment, and other conditions. The offer can change or end.
How much is Foundayo with insurance?
There is no single insured price. Eligible people with commercial insurance that covers Foundayo may pay as little as $25 per month under the current savings program, subject to eligibility, maximum savings, plan coverage, and other terms. A plan's deductible, copay, coinsurance, formulary, prior authorization, and pharmacy network determine the actual result.
Does Foundayo have a savings card?
Yes. Lilly publishes a commercial-insurance savings route and a separate self-pay route. The commercial program excludes people enrolled in governmental health programs. The self-pay route has its own eligibility rules and does not permit reimbursement. Read the live official terms before relying on either amount.
Is the Foundayo price different by dose?
The official wholesale acquisition cost is $649 for each 30-tablet pack across all six strengths. The current self-pay offer is different by strength: $149 for 0.8 mg, $199 for 2.5 mg, and $299 for 5.5, 9, 14.5, or 17.2 mg. A prescriber determines the prescription; price should not be used to change a prescribed dose.
Does Medicare cover Foundayo?
Coverage depends on the individual plan, current formulary, labeled use, and applicable benefit rules. The commercial savings card excludes people enrolled in Medicare and other governmental programs. That exclusion does not answer a particular plan's coverage question. Check the plan and pharmacy using the exact strength and prescription.
Is $649 what I will pay for Foundayo?
Not necessarily. $649 is the official wholesale acquisition cost for a 30-tablet pack. It is a list-price benchmark, not a promise of the insured, discounted, self-pay, or pharmacy amount. The actual cost requires the exact prescription, current benefit or program eligibility, and a current pharmacy quote.
