How Much Is the Wegovy GLP-1 Pill With Insurance?
With eligible commercial insurance, the Wegovy pill may cost as little as $25 per month. Your actual copay depends on whether your plan covers the medication and how the plan handles prescriptions.
The manufacturer savings offer generally does not apply to people with Medicare or Medicaid.
Eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries may qualify for a separate $50-per-month Wegovy GLP-1 bridge program from July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027. Eligibility rules apply.
Is the GLP-1 Pill the Same as Rybelsus?
No. Wegovy tablets and Rybelsus tablets are different oral semaglutide medicines.
- Wegovy tablets are approved for chronic weight management in eligible adults with obesity or overweight plus a weight-related condition.
- Rybelsus tablets are approved to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes and to reduce certain cardiovascular risks in eligible adults with type 2 diabetes.
The two products have different approved uses, doses and pricing programs. Rybelsus is not the lower-cost version of Wegovy for weight loss.
What Is the List Price of the Wegovy Pill?
Novo Nordisk lists the Wegovy pill at $1,349.02 per package before savings or self-pay offers.
Eligible patients using NovoCare's self-pay program can pay less. The 1.5 mg dose starts at $149 per month.
What Does the Price Include?
The medication price usually does not include:
- The medical appointment needed to obtain a prescription

Wegovy tablets require a prescription. The FDA prescribing information says to take them once daily on an empty stomach with up to 4 ounces of water. You should then wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking other beverages or taking other oral medicines.
