Verbatim response from Perplexity

Without insurance, GLP-1 medication typically costs about $900 to $1,400 per month at retail, and many common brand-name options fall in the $1,000+ per month range.[2][3][4]

More specific examples from current cash-pay and self-pay programs:

  • Wegovy: about $349/month through NovoCare self-pay after an introductory period; retail list prices are often around $1,300–$1,600/month.[1][8]
  • Zepbound: about $299–$449/month through LillyDirect self-pay depending on dose.[1][4][7]
  • Oral GLP-1 options: some self-pay programs list prices around $149–$299/month.[2][4][6]
  • Compounded GLP-1s: often around $100–$300/month, but pricing varies by provider and dose.[2][4]

If you want the simplest answer: budget roughly $1,000 per month without insurance, unless you use a manufacturer self-pay program or another lower-cost option.[2][3][4]

If you’d like, I can also break this down by Wegovy vs. Zepbound vs. Ozempic or by cash-pay programs available right now.
