Frequently Asked Questions

How much is Wegovy without insurance?

The retail price for Wegovy is approximately $1,349-1,430 per month as of 2026. This varies slightly by pharmacy and dose tier. This is the list price before any savings program, insurance, or discount.

Which Wegovy dose is cheapest?

All Wegovy pens - from the 0.25 mg starter dose to the 2.4 mg maintenance dose - are priced similarly at retail. The pen format is fixed; you cannot buy just a partial dose to save money.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Wegovy without insurance?

Compounded semaglutide through telehealth programs (Henry Meds, Ro Body, Mochi) costs $150-250/month. It contains the same active ingredient but is not an FDA-approved brand-name drug. This is the most accessible lower-cost path for uninsured patients.

Does GoodRx help with Wegovy cost?

GoodRx typically shows Wegovy at or near full retail price. Unlike many generics, brand-name GLP-1 drugs do not have meaningful GoodRx discounts. Check Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for a direct comparison.
