Is There a Real Semaglutide Coupon? It Depends on What's on Your Prescription

How do you get the semaglutide savings card?

If your prescription says Wegovy or Ozempic, start with Novo Nordisk's own card. Novo makes both brands. The card is free, and signing up takes a few minutes online.

• Check you qualify: you need commercial insurance, such as a plan from your job or the marketplace. Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE and VA can't use it.
• Pick the right card: the Wegovy card covers Wegovy. The Ozempic card covers Ozempic, and only for type 2 diabetes, its approved use.
• Sign up on NovoCare: you get a card number right away, like a second insurance card.
• Give it to your pharmacy: the pharmacist bills your plan first, then the card. Your share can drop to $25.
• Keep it on file: it carries over at every refill, including when your dose goes up.

Does the card work on your dose and at your pharmacy?

Yes. The Wegovy card covers every pen and pill dose. The Ozempic card covers the pen and the Ozempic pill, which is also labeled Rybelsus. Both work at participating US retail pharmacies.

The $25 is a floor, not a promise. Novo pays up to $100 of your share for a 1-month fill, $200 for two months and $300 for three.

• Copay of $125 or less: you pay $25.
• Higher copay or deductible not met: the card still takes off only $100 a month. A deductible is what you pay each year before your plan starts paying.
• Plan doesn't cover your brand: keep the card. It then rings up Novo's self-pay price at your local pharmacy.

Compounded semaglutide discounts, provider by provider

Compounded semaglutide has the same active ingredient, but a licensed pharmacy mixes it for one patient. It is not FDA-approved, and no maker card applies. The savings come from each seller's own prices.

Mochi Health is the cheapest start. The medicine is priced by dose, and the $79 monthly membership is extra. That makes about $140 a month at the lowest dose, up to about $270 at the top. New members pay about $60 for the first month, in most states. Prepaying a year of membership brings the lowest dose to about $110 a month.

Fridays bundles a dietitian, a coach and group coaching into one price. It costs about $280 a month month to month, or about $150 a month if you pay a year upfront. The yearly plan suits you only if you're sure you'll stay a full year.

Henry Meds charges no membership. Its semaglutide tablet costs about $250 a month and the shot about $300. A 12-month prepay brings them to about $150 and $200 a month. Each prepaid plan covers a set amount of medicine, and you may owe the balance if you cancel early.

No insurance: Novo's self-pay prices

Novo sells Wegovy and Ozempic at a fixed cash price, called self-pay. You still need a prescription. You can use NovoCare Pharmacy for home delivery, or the savings card at a local pharmacy.

• Wegovy or Ozempic pill: about $150 a month at 1.5 mg, about $200 at 4 mg and about $300 at higher doses.
• Wegovy pen: about $350 a month, or about $400 at the 7.2 mg dose.
• Ozempic pen: about $350 a month up to 1 mg, and about $500 at 2 mg.
• New pen patients: the first two fills cost about $200 each, through December 31, 2026.

The pill is the cheapest brand-name semaglutide at every dose step. Plan your budget on the dose you'll stay on, not the starting one.

Is there a free semaglutide program?

Yes, for Ozempic only. Novo Nordisk's Patient Assistance Program gives the Ozempic pen free to people with no insurance and a household income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. That level is the government's yearly income line for poverty.

It doesn't cover Wegovy or the Ozempic pill. People with private insurance or Medicaid can't join, and people with Medicare drug coverage can no longer get Ozempic through it.

Medicare: the $50 GLP-1 Bridge

Novo's cards are closed to Medicare. Since July 1, 2026, Medicare's GLP-1 Bridge gives eligible members any Wegovy dose, pen or pill, for $50 a month. It runs through December 31, 2027.

You qualify with a BMI of 35 or more, or a lower BMI with certain heart, kidney or blood sugar conditions. People with type 2 diabetes are left out, because Part D plans usually cover Ozempic for them. In 2026, Part D out-of-pocket drug costs stop at $2,100 a year.

Does GoodRx save money on semaglutide?

GoodRx now shows Novo's own self-pay price for Wegovy and Ozempic at retail pharmacies. It won't undercut NovoCare, but it's a handy way to see that price at your usual drugstore.

GoodRx no longer offers the two cheaper first pen fills; its own offer ended in March 2026. Those come from NovoCare or the TrumpRx.gov coupon. GoodRx can't be combined with insurance or the savings card.

Can you use an HSA or FSA, or a longer fill?

Prescription drugs used to treat a medical condition usually qualify for HSA and FSA funds. Check with your plan administrator, especially for a compounded product.

With the savings card, a 2- or 3-month fill doesn't cost more. Novo's cap simply scales to $200 or $300. It can save you trips to the pharmacy.

What a year costs on each path

Brand pens come in 28-day boxes, so a year means 13 fills. Pills come in 30-day bottles.

• Savings card, plan covers your brand: about $300 to $325 a year at $25 a month.
• Ozempic assistance program: $0, if you qualify.
• Medicare GLP-1 Bridge: about $600 to $650 a year.
• Self-pay pill: about $3,340 a year, stepping up to the usual top dose.
• Self-pay Wegovy pen: about $4,240 for a new patient's first year.
• Self-pay Ozempic pen: up to about $5,450 a year at 2 mg.
• Mochi Health: about $1,590 to $3,140 a year month to month, or about $1,310 to $2,860 with a prepaid year of membership.
• Fridays: about $1,800 a year on the annual plan, or about $3,350 month to month.
• Henry Meds: about $1,790 a year for tablets or $2,360 for shots on a 12-month prepay.
• List price, no program: about $13,000 to $17,500 a year.

Which savings path fits you?

• Brand prescription and commercial insurance: start with the savings card, as little as $25 a month.
• Ozempic, no insurance, low income: apply to the assistance program first. If you qualify, it's free.
• Brand prescription, no insurance: Novo's self-pay pill, from about $150 a month.
• Medicare and weight loss: the GLP-1 Bridge, $50 a month for Wegovy if you qualify.
• Compounded semaglutide: compare Mochi Health, Fridays and Henry Meds at the dose you'll stay on, and check what a prepay commits you to.
• List price with no program: avoid it. Every path above costs less.

Fake coupons and scam sites

Cheap GLP-1 offers attract real fraud. The FDA has warned about counterfeit Ozempic found in the US supply chain.

• A site that sells semaglutide without a prescription.
• A "discount card" site that charges a fee before showing a price. Novo's card and assistance program are free.
• Free or deeply discounted semaglutide with no eligibility check.
• A pen whose packaging doesn't match the photos on Novo Nordisk's site.
