271 tirzepatide sellers list Arkansas as a shipping state. The lowest regular price among them is $69/mo, and Arkansas Medicaid does not cover weight loss.
By Nora Bissett · Pricing Editor
Editorially reviewed. Not medical advice · How we verify contentLast reviewed
271 of the 371 tirzepatide sellers that publish a state list include Arkansas, the 47th-most of the 50 states and DC. 201 of them ship to all 50 states, and 1 serves 15 states or fewer. Across the 201 with a regular monthly price, the middle figure is $239/mo.
Arkansas Medicaid does not pay for GLP-1 drugs prescribed only for weight loss. GLP-1s prescribed for type 2 diabetes are covered, with prior authorization.
The drug itself, including its dosing, side effects and cost, is covered on the tirzepatide drug page, and how the state program handles it is in the Arkansas Medicaid GLP-1 coverage guide.
