Wegovy Cost With and Without Insurance
Wegovy costs between $969 and $1,470 per month without insurance. Most plans don't cover it yet. We break down what you'll actually pay and why.
What Wegovy Costs Right Now
Wegovy (semaglutide) runs between $969 and $1,470 per month if you're paying out of pocket. The price depends on your dose and where you fill it.
Insurance Coverage Is Still the Exception
Most health plans don't cover Wegovy for weight loss. Some will pay if you have type 2 diabetes and need it for that reason, but the weight management indication is largely uncovered. When insurance does cover it, your copay typically lands between $50 and $250 per month, assuming your plan includes it at all.
Why Prices Vary
The same dose costs different amounts at different pharmacies. GLP-1 drugs also come in starter packs (lower doses) and maintenance doses, which affects the final bill. Manufacturer coupons can knock off $200 to $300 per month if you qualify.
Telehealth Providers May Change Your Out-of-Pocket Price
Some telehealth services include the drug in their subscription model. Others charge separately for the medication. Shop around: you might pay $200 to $400 monthly through a telehealth platform versus closer to $1,000 at a traditional pharmacy, depending on the service and what they're actually providing.
The Bottom Line
Wegovy costs real money whether you have insurance or not. Without coverage, budget $1,000 to $1,500 per month. With coverage (if you can get it), expect $50 to $250. Telehealth adds options but doesn't guarantee savings.
