Wegovy Cost Without Insurance
Average retail price: $1,300–$1,650 per month (for the maintenance dose of 2.4mg)
Where to Find It Cheapest
Best options:
-
Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com) — Does NOT currently carry Wegovy/semaglutide branded versions, but worth checking as inventory changes
-
Novo Nordisk's savings program — The manufacturer offers a $0 or low-cost coupon for eligible commercially insured patients, but uninsured patients have limited options
-
GoodRx — Can bring the price down to roughly $1,200–$1,400 depending on pharmacy; worth comparing CVS, Walgreens, Costco, and Walmart pharmacies in your area
-
Costco Pharmacy — Consistently among the lowest retail prices for brand-name drugs
-
NovoCare Patient Assistance Program — If your income qualifies, Novo Nordisk may provide it free or heavily discounted
Important Note
Compounded semaglutide was previously a cheaper alternative (~$200–$500/month) through telehealth companies like Hims & Hers or Ro, but the FDA has restricted most compounding as of 2025.
Bottom line: Check GoodRx, call Costco, and visit wegovy.com for manufacturer assistance programs.
