Wegovy Cost Without Insurance
Standard retail price: approximately $1,300–$1,400 per month (around $1,349 is the commonly cited list price as of 2024).
Where to Find It Cheaper
Best options to reduce cost:
-
Novo Nordisk's Patient Assistance Program – The manufacturer offers the Wegovy Savings Card, which can bring costs down to $0–$650/month for eligible commercially insured patients, and there's a patient assistance program for lower-income uninsured patients
-
Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com) – Does not currently carry Wegovy, but worth monitoring
-
Amazon Pharmacy – Offers some discounts with Prime membership; worth comparing
-
GoodRx – Can reduce cost to roughly $1,200–$1,300, so modest savings
-
Ro, Hims/Hers, or Noom Med – Offer compounded semaglutide (the same active ingredient) for $200–$500/month, though the FDA has raised concerns about compounded versions and availability is changing
Important Caveats
- Compounded semaglutide's legal status is in flux as the FDA declared the shortage over
- Always use a licensed pharmacy and get a legitimate prescription
- Prices change frequently — verify current costs directly
