Wegovy Cost Without Insurance
Typical retail price: ~$1,300–$1,650/month for the standard maintenance dose (2.4mg weekly).
Where to Find It Cheapest
1. Novo Nordisk's Savings Card (NovoCare)
- Eligible commercially insured patients can pay as low as $0–$25/month
- Uninsured patients may qualify for patient assistance programs
- Check: wegovy.com/savings
2. Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban's company)
- Doesn't currently carry Wegovy brand, but worth monitoring
3. Compounding Pharmacies ⚠️
- Semaglutide compounds were significantly cheaper (~$200–$500/month)
- The FDA has largely ended compounding of semaglutide (2025), so this option is mostly gone or legally risky now
4. GoodRx / RxSaver
- Can reduce cost somewhat, typically to ~$1,200–$1,400/month
5. Hims & Hers / Ro
- Were offering compounded versions but face legal restrictions now
Bottom Line
Without insurance, Wegovy remains expensive. Your best legitimate options are:
- Novo Nordisk's own assistance programs
- Asking your doctor about insurance coverage appeals
