Wegovy is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) or GLP-1 agonist medication. It was U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for weight loss and chronic weight management in adults and children ages 12 and older with obesity (a body mass index of 30 or more). It’s also approved for weight loss and long-term weight maintenance for adults who are overweight (a body mass index of 25 to 29.9) and have at least one weight-related medical condition, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure among others. It’s also approved to reduce the risk of a major cardiovascular event, such as heart attack or stroke, in obese or overweight adults with heart disease.
For all uses, Wegovy should be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. And you should know that Wegovy have side effects.
Wegovy is a weight loss injection, but its cost can be a burden for many patients. Without insurance coverage or financial assistance, the price of Wegovy may be prohibitive, making it difficult for individuals to access the treatment they need.
Without insurance, the list price for Wegovy is about $1,350 for a 28-day supply. However, Novo Nordisk has recently introduced a direct-to-patient program called NovoCare Pharmacy, which offers Wegovy for $499 per month to uninsured and underinsured individuals. The reduced price makes the medication more accessible to those without adequate insurance coverage.
Using a Wegovy coupon in the U.S. can reduce the cost of your Wegovy, but you still need to get a prescription first. With the Wegovy Savings Card, commercially insured patients can pay as little as $0 for a 28-day supply (1 box) of Wegovy.
Novo Nordisk, which makes Wegovy, offers a manufacturer coupon called the Wegovy Savings Card program. This is the best place to look for savings. People who qualify can get discounts or even get Wegovy for free.
If you have commercial insurance coverage, you may be eligible for a free 28-day supply of Wegovy. The program caps savings on a 28-day supply at $225 for up to 13 refills. If your copay is $300 for a 28-day supply, you’ll only pay $75 with the Wegovy Savings Card.
You can still use the Wegovy Savings Card without insurance or if your insurance doesn’t cover it or if your insurance denied your prior authorization and save up to $500 on a 28-day supply.
