List price is a reference point
List price means the medicine maker's published price. It is different from a cash offer or your insurance share.
In September 2026, the published package list price for semaglutide (Wegovy) was about $1,349. a
For the injection price comparison, a month's supply meant a box holding four pens. a
That figure does not tell you the bill for your own care.
Cash prices depend on the product
Self-pay means paying outside insurance.
As of September 2026, semaglutide cash prices ranged from $149 to $499 a month across products and strengths. a
Strength means how much of the active ingredient a product contains.
For new patients paying outside insurance, the cheapest shot prices applied to the first two monthly refills; the offers were scheduled to end on December 31, 2026. a
Only certain product strengths qualified for those starting prices. a
The Ozempic offer required people to be at least 18, live in the United States and pay outside insurance. c
Ask the pharmacy to check the full offer rules for your exact product and confirm in writing whether you qualify. Ask what you pay afterward or if you do not qualify.
Separate the service fee
Ask whether the quoted fee includes the visit, the medicine, any tests, delivery and later messages.
Ask whether there is a membership and how to end it. Request a written total for the first payment and the next refill.
Compare the same kind of price
A copay is the part an insurance plan asks you to pay. A cash offer is a separate price outside that plan.
A deductible is what you first pay yourself before the plan begins to share certain costs.
As of September 2026, the cash offer terms did not let patients count those payments toward an insurance deductible. a
Ask your plan how its rules apply.
