Without insurance, Wegovy’s list price is about $1,349 per month (specifically $1,349.02 for a 28-day supply), but most uninsured patients pay significantly less through manufacturer or savings programs [1][2].
The cheapest reliable options for self-pay patients are:
| Source | Weekly/Monthly Cost | Details |
|---|---|---|
| NovoCare (Novo Nordisk’s direct pharmacy) | $199/month (first 2 months for 0.25 mg/0.5 mg) → $349/month thereafter | Covers all injection doses except 7.2 mg ($399/month); pills: $149/month (1.5 mg/4 mg) or $299/month (9 mg/25 mg) [1][7] |
| Prepayment discount (NovoCare) | $249/month (if buying 12 months upfront) | Saves up to $150/month vs. standard $399/month rate; prices set through Dec 31, 2026 [5] |
| GoodRx (intro offer) | $199/month (first 2 fills) → $349/month later | Injection or pill (limited doses); after intro, same as NovoCare [2] |
| Wegovy Savings Card (if insurance doesn’t cover it) | $25/month | Only for commercially insured patients whose plan excludes Wegovy; not for fully uninsured [2][3] |
Where it’s cheapest:
- NovoCare (via Novo Nordisk’s online pharmacy) currently offers the lowest ongoing price for most doses at $349/month for injections and $149/month for lower-dose pills [1][7].
- Buying 12 months upfront through NovoCare drops the cost to $249/month, making it the absolute cheapest for long-term users [5].
- GoodRx matches the $199 introductory price but reverts to $349/month afterward [2].
Important notes:
- The $499/month price mentioned in some reports appears to be an older or alternate НовоCare tier; current official pricing is $349/month for most doses [1][4][6].
- Prices vary by dose: the 7.2 mg injection is $399/month, and the 4 mg pill becomes $199/month after August 31, 2026 [5][7].
- Always confirm eligibility and current pricing directly with NovoCare or your provider, as offers may change [1][7].
For the lowest guaranteed price without insurance, prepaying 12 months through NovoCare is the best option at $249/month.
