Along with diet and exercise, semaglutide (Wegovy) helps people lose weight and maintain that loss.

That figure applied to the lowest strength, rather than every strength or every patient’s total care bill.

Ozempic (semaglutide) helps adults with type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar under control.
As of September 26, 2026, the listed semaglutide (Ozempic) pen offer was $199 per month for the first two fills at selected strengths.
It was limited to new adult self-pay patients living in the United States or its territories, through December 31, 2026.
Afterward, the strength determined whether a month cost $349 or $499.
Paying without using insurance is called self-pay. Ask for the price that applies to the actual prescription being considered.
Cash spending is outside the insurance tally
The offer’s terms recorded September 26, 2026 rule out insurance reimbursement for self-pay costs and exclude them from the insurance deductible.
Your deductible is what you must spend yourself before your insurance plan begins paying part of some costs.
