Wegovy Cost Without Insurance
Typical retail price: ~$1,300–$1,400/month for the standard maintenance dose (2.4mg weekly).
Where to Find It Cheapest
Manufacturer Savings:
- Novo Nordisk's WegovyCare savings card – eligible patients with commercial insurance can pay as little as $0/month, but without insurance it doesn't apply the same way
- Check wegovy.com for current offers
Lowest Cash-Pay Options:
| Option | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs | Not yet available for Wegovy |
| GoodRx | ~$1,200–$1,350 (varies by pharmacy) |
| Amazon Pharmacy | Competitive pricing, worth checking |
| Costco Pharmacy | Often among the lowest retail prices |
Telehealth Compounding Route (Cheaper but different):
- Hims & Hers, Ro, or LifeMD offer compounded semaglutide for $200–$500/month — but note the FDA has ended the compounding authorization for semaglutide, so availability is being phased out
Practical Tips
- Always compare on GoodRx.com by zip code
- Ask your doctor about Novo Nordisk's patient assistance program if your income qualifies
- Check if any local warehouse pharmacies (Costco, Sam's Club) beat your nearest options
Prices change frequently, so verify current pricing directly.
