Wegovy Cost Without Insurance
List price: approximately $1,300–$1,400 per month (around $1,349 is the commonly cited retail price for a 4-week supply).
Where to Find It Cheaper
Best options:
-
Novo Nordisk's Patient Assistance Program – The manufacturer offers Wegovy for $0 or very low cost if you qualify based on income. Check WegovyPatientSupport.com
-
NovoCare Savings Card – Commercially insured patients may pay as little as $0/month, but uninsured patients have limited savings here
-
Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban's pharmacy) – Worth checking, though Wegovy availability varies
-
GoodRx – Can bring the price down to roughly $1,100–$1,200, not a huge discount but worth using
-
Ro, Hims/Hers, or Found – These telehealth platforms sometimes offer compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient) for $200–$400/month, though note the FDA has recently moved to restrict compounded versions
Important Notes
- Compounded semaglutide is significantly cheaper but regulatory status is changing — verify current legality
- Always use the official Novo Nordisk savings programs first
- Some employers and ACA marketplace plans now cover GLP-1 drugs
