Wegovy Cost Without Insurance
Typical retail price: ~$1,300–$1,400/month for the standard maintenance dose (2.4mg weekly).
Cheapest Options
1. Novo Nordisk's WegovyCare Savings Card
- Eligible patients can pay as little as $0–$650/month depending on income
- Apply at wegovy.com directly
2. Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com)
- Does not currently carry brand-name Wegovy, so limited help here
3. GoodRx
- Can reduce cost to roughly $1,100–$1,200/month — modest savings
- Worth checking at goodrx.com
4. Compounding Pharmacies (via telehealth)
- Services like Ro, Hims/Hers, or LifeMD offer compounded semaglutide (same active ingredient) for $200–$500/month
- ⚠️ Important caveat: The FDA has warned about compounded versions — quality and dosing consistency vary, and they aren't FDA-approved
5. Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program
- For qualifying low-income patients, free or deeply discounted supply
- Check at novonordisk-us.com
Bottom Line
The manufacturer's savings program is usually the best legitimate option for most people. Compounded versions are cheapest but carry regulatory concerns.
