How much does Wegovy cost per month without insurance, and where is it cheapest?

Short answer

• Typical retail list price (no insurance) for Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg pens) is about $1,300–$1,400 per 4‑week box (one month).
• The cheapest way to buy is usually to comparison-shop with discount/coupon services (GoodRx, SingleCare, Blink Health) and check big chains like Costco, Kroger, Walmart — those combinations often reduce the cash price substantially.

Details and practical steps

1. Typical list price

   • Wegovy is sold as a weekly injection; one box (4 pens) covers ~4 weeks. The manufacturer list price has been roughly $1,300–$1,400 per box (this is the commonly quoted retail price).

2. Where it’s cheapest (real-world options)

   • GoodRx, SingleCare, Blink Health: these coupon/discount platforms often show the lowest cash prices at local pharmacies. Prices vary by ZIP code and pharmacy, but coupons can lower the cash cost by several hundred dollars.
   • Big-chain pharmacies: Costco Pharmacy and Kroger family pharmacies frequently appear among the lowest cash prices (Costco often has competitive pricing but requires membership). Walmart sometimes has competitive pricing too.
   • Manufacturer programs: Novo Nordisk (Wegovy) sometimes offers savings programs or patient assistance for eligible patients — check Wegovy.com or Novo Nordisk’s patient support. These programs can substantially lower out‑of‑pocket cost for those who qualify.
   • Telehealth/weight‑loss clinics and alternatives: Some telehealth providers prescribe Ozempic (also semaglutide) or other GLP‑1 products at different prices, and compounded semaglutide from compounding pharmacies can be much cheaper — but quality, legality and safety vary, so proceed with caution and discuss with your prescriber.

3. What to do now (quick checklist)

   • Go to GoodRx/SingleCare/Blink Health and enter your ZIP to compare current cash prices at nearby pharmacies.
   • Call or check prices at Costco, Kroger, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens to compare.
   • Check Wegovy.com/Novo Nordisk for current savings programs or patient assistance and eligibility rules.
   • Talk with your prescriber about alternatives (Ozempic, other GLP‑1s, or manufacturer coupons) if cost is an issue.
