Self-pay prices stated by Novo Nordisk, checked 8 Nov 2026.
Novo Nordisk says Wegovy prices do not rise based on when a prescription is refilled.[1] At the US launch on 5 January 2026, the 4 mg dose was also $149 a month until 15 April 2026, then $199, which is the price today.[5][1]
How Much Is the Wegovy Pill Without Insurance?
Without insurance, the Wegovy pill costs $149 a month at the 1.5 mg starting dose, $199 at 4 mg and $299 at 9 mg or 25 mg through Novo Nordisk’s self-pay offer.[1][2]
- The self-pay offer is for people whose insurance does not cover Wegovy, and for people who are self-paying or choose to fill outside their plan.[2]
- It works outside insurance. You agree not to claim the cost back from any insurer, health account or government programme, and not to count it towards a deductible or out-of-pocket limit.[2]
- NovoCare states that money spent this way will not count toward your out-of-pocket limits or deductible.[3]
- The self-pay offer cannot be combined with the commercial copay offer, and Novo can change or cancel it at any time.[2][1]
Wegovy Pill Coupon and Copay Savings Offer
The Wegovy Savings Offer lets people with commercial insurance that covers the pill pay as little as $25, with savings capped at $100 per 1-month fill, $200 per 2-month fill and $300 per 3-month fill.[2]
| Term | Commercial coverage for the pill | Self-pay or no coverage |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | As little as $25 | $149 (1.5 mg), $199 (4 mg), $299 (9 mg, 25 mg) a month |
| Maximum savings | $100 (1 month), $200 (2 months), $300 (3 months) | Fixed price by dose |
| Fill size | 1 bottle of 30 tablets = 30 days | 1 bottle of 30 tablets = 30 days |
| Government plans | Excluded (Medicaid, Medicare, VA, DOD, TRICARE and similar) | Cash only; no claims to any payer[2] |
- You need a valid prescription for an FDA-approved use, and the offer is valid only in the United States and its territories, at participating pharmacies.[2]
- FEHB, Affordable Care Act exchange plans and state employee plans do not count as government programmes for this offer.[2]
- People whose plan uses an accumulator, maximizer or alternate funding programme tied to the offer are not eligible.[2]
- Novo says to text SAVE to 83757 to get the digital offer, and that the programme is not health insurance.[1][2]
- If a mail-order pharmacy cannot apply the offer, Novo accepts a reimbursement claim within 180 days of the fill.[2]
Wegovy Pill with Insurance and Medicare
With commercial coverage the Wegovy pill can cost as little as $25 a month with the savings offer, and eligible Medicare Part D patients pay $50 a month for any dose through the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge between 1 July 2026 and 31 December 2027.[1]
- Commercial insurance. Your cost depends on your plan. Novo’s page links to a coverage lookup tool and says your out-of-pocket cost depends on factors such as your insurance coverage.[1]
- Medicare GLP-1 Bridge. Novo describes it as a temporary federal programme giving eligible Part D beneficiaries all dose strengths of the Wegovy pen and pill for $50 a month, nationwide.[1]
- Who qualifies. You must meet clinical criteria set by CMS and be enrolled in a standalone Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage in 2026.[1]
- Prior authorisation. To get the $50 price, your doctor must submit a prior authorisation and prescribe Wegovy for a use the bridge covers. Novo says this is not a guarantee of coverage.[1]
- Medicaid, VA and TRICARE. People on these programmes cannot use the commercial savings offer.[2] Novo’s pages do not state a Wegovy pill price for them.
Wegovy Pill on TrumpRx
TrumpRx.gov lists the Wegovy pill from $149 a month against an original price of $1,349.02, described as 78% to 89% off, as an out-of-pocket coupon for self-pay patients.[4]
- TrumpRx is a US government website. For the 1.5 mg strength in a 30-tablet bottle it shows an original price of $1,349.02 and savings of $1,200.02.[4]
- You present the TrumpRx coupon at a pharmacy. The site says it is widely supported at retail pharmacies that dispense the Wegovy pill.[4]
- The coupon is for self-pay patients only, 18 or over, resident in the US or a US territory, with a valid prescription. Government beneficiaries are excluded.[4]
- The TrumpRx prices match Novo’s own self-pay prices: $149 for 1.5 mg rising to $299 for the top doses.[4][1] The site also says that if you have insurance, check your copay first, as it may be lower.[4]
Wegovy Pill List Price and the January 2027 Change
The Wegovy pill has a list price of $1,349.02 a package, and Novo Nordisk says the list price of Wegovy, including tablets, falls to $675 from 1 January 2027.[3][6]
- NovoCare defines list price as the price set by the maker before discounts or rebates, and says most people with coverage do not pay it.[3]
- On 24 February 2026, Novo announced that the list price (wholesale acquisition cost) of Wegovy injection 2.4 mg and tablets 25 mg will drop to $675, about 50% lower, and that the change applies to all doses.[6]
- Novo says the lower list price is aimed at people whose costs are linked to list price, such as those on high-deductible or co-insurance plans.[6]
- Novo also says the change does not affect its direct-to-patient self-pay prices.[6]
Where the Wegovy Pill Is Sold
At launch Novo Nordisk said the Wegovy pill was available through more than 70,000 US pharmacies such as CVS and Costco, telehealth providers including Ro, LifeMD and Weight Watchers, NovoCare Pharmacy and GoodRx, at $149 a month for the starting dose.[5]
- Online with home delivery. Novo says self-pay patients can fill through Novocare home delivery, powered by BlinkRx, with free shipping.[1][3]
- Retail pharmacy pickup. NovoCare also offers sending the prescription to a local pharmacy of your choice.[3]
- CVS, Costco, GoodRx and others. Novo named these channels in January 2026.[5] What you pay at any one pharmacy or platform depends on your coverage and which offer is applied, so check with the pharmacy before you pay.
- Prescription needed. The Wegovy pill is a prescription medicine, and both Novo offers require a valid prescription.[2]
What the First Three Months Cost
The first three months of the Wegovy pill cost $647 self-pay ($149, $199 and $299), because the label steps up from 1.5 mg to 4 mg and 9 mg every 30 days before the 25 mg maintenance dose at $299 a month.[7][1]

Is the Wegovy Pill Sold by DBR Labs?
No. The Wegovy pill is a prescription medicine, from $149 a month self-pay through Novo’s channels and US pharmacies, and DBR Labs does not sell it or any semaglutide product.[1][5]
DBR Labs supplies research peptides for laboratory use only. For what the pill is and who it is approved for, see the Wegovy pill guide and Wegovy pill side effects; for the older semaglutide tablet for diabetes, see what is Rybelsus. Our eloralintide price guide covers an investigational research compound that is not approved anywhere; its research-vial prices are not comparable to the price of an approved prescription drug.

Without coverage, the self-pay offer sets the price at $149 to $299 a month by dose. Government plan members cannot use the commercial offer. Novo says to text SAVE to 83757 to get it.

The list price will. Novo Nordisk says the list price of Wegovy, including tablets, falls from $1,349.02 to $675 a package from 1 January 2027. Novo says this does not change its self-pay prices, so the change mainly matters to people whose costs are tied to list price, such as those on high-deductible or co-insurance plans.
