Why Zepbound specifically

The tirzepatide indicated for weight, not diabetes.

Woman in midlife considering her care options

Zepbound and Mounjaro share an active ingredient (tirzepatide) but have different FDA-approved indications. Zepbound is approved for chronic weight management. For some insurance plans, the indication on the prescription matters — coverage rules differ.

If your insurance plan has clear coverage criteria for chronic weight management, Zepbound can be the more reimbursable choice. Your clinician will help you decide.

How Cypress branded works

What we do, and what we don't.

1
We prescribe and coordinate

2
You pay up front
You pay the full cost at fulfillment. We confirm the price with you first.
3
You file the claim
We provide all documentation needed. You submit to your plan; they reimburse you directly.
