Wegovy Cost Without Insurance
Retail Price: Wegovy typically costs around $1,300–$1,650 per month at full retail price without insurance.
Where to Find It Cheapest
Best options to lower the cost:
-
Novo Nordisk's Savings Card – The manufacturer offers a savings program. Eligible commercially insured patients may pay as little as $0/month, but uninsured patients have more limited options. Check WegovySavings.com directly.
-
Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com) – Does not currently carry branded Wegovy, but worth monitoring.
-
GoodRx – Can sometimes reduce costs at pharmacies like Costco, Walmart, or Sam's Club pharmacies, which tend to have lower base prices. Sam's Club and Costco pharmacies are often among the cheapest retail options.
-
Telehealth platforms (Ro, Hims & Hers, Found) – Sometimes bundle medication with prescriptions and may have negotiated pricing or compounded semaglutide alternatives, though compounded versions are not FDA-approved branded Wegovy.
Important Notes
- Always verify current pricing, as it changes frequently
- Ask your doctor about Novo Nordisk's patient assistance program if cost is a barrier
- Insurance coverage varies widely and is worth pursuing
