From Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and NovoCare pages and Medicare's GLP-1 Bridge fact sheet.[1, 4, 5]

With commercial insurance

Both medicines have a savings program for people with commercial insurance. Each lets you pay as little as $25, with savings capped at $100 a month.[3, 4]

  • What counts as a month: 1 box of 4 Wegovy pens or 1 bottle of 30 Wegovy tablets; 1 box of 1 Ozempic pen or 1 bottle of 30 Ozempic tablets.[3, 4]
  • Government insurance is excluded, including Medicare and Medicaid.[3, 4]
  • Where to use it: the Ozempic savings card works at local pharmacies.[4] The Wegovy offer works at retail pharmacies that accept it.[1]

Because savings are capped at $100 a month, what you pay depends on your plan's copay. For example, if your copay is $150, the offer covers $100 and you pay $50.

Medicare

Since July 1, 2026, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge has let eligible people with Medicare Part D get certain GLP-1 weight loss medicines for $50 a month.[5] Novo Nordisk says this covers all Wegovy dose strengths, and lists the program as running through December 31, 2027.[1]

Medicare's eligibility rules include active Part D coverage, not already getting a GLP-1 through your drug plan, and BMI criteria, and Medicare must approve you before you pay. The details are in ourZepbound savings guide, which covers the same program.[5]

The small print

  • Prescription required. These options change what you pay, not whether a medicine is right for you. That is your prescriber's decision.
  • Programs can change. Novo Nordisk reserves the right to modify or cancel them at any time.[2]
  • Introductory offers end December 31, 2026.[2, 4]
Be wary of websites selling cheap "semaglutide" without a prescription or labeled "research use only". Those products are not FDA-approved Wegovy or Ozempic. The official routes are the ones on this page.
