Short answer

With commercial insurance that covers Wegovy, the savings card can bring the copay to as little as $25. Without coverage, the cheapest FDA-approved route is the Wegovy pill at $149/month for the 1.5 mg starting dose ($299 at the 9 mg and 25 mg maintenance doses), or the pen at $199 for the first two fills and $349/month after that.

If you have commercial insurance that covers Wegovy, the Wegovy Savings Card can bring your copay to as little as $25. Without that coverage, NovoCare self-pay prices the Wegovy pill (FDA-approved December 2025) by strength — $149 at 1.5 mg, $199 at 4 mg, $299 at 9 mg and 25 mg — and the pen at $199 for the first two fills, then $349/month.

Compounded semaglutide via licensed telehealth runs about $99–$300/month (the low end is a 12-month plan billed upfront), but it is not FDA-approved as a finished product and quality varies by pharmacy. Compare the all-in monthly price — medication plus any visit or membership fee — not just the sticker price. Estimates as of September 2026.

The cheapest Wegovy route for your situation

Your situation	Cheapest route	Monthly cost
Commercial plan covers Wegovy	Wegovy Savings Card	As little as $25; the card pays up to $100 per 1-month fill
Medicare Part D and you meet the Bridge criteria	Medicare GLP-1 Bridge (pen or pill)	$50 flat, July 2026 to December 2027

Lowest price, accepting a non-FDA-approved product	Compounded semaglutide via licensed telehealth	about $99–$300/month (the low end is a 12-month plan billed upfront)

Where the cheapest price stops being cheapest

The $149 pill price is the 1.5 mg starting dose. The 9 mg and 25 mg maintenance doses cost $299.
The $199 pen price covers the first two fills only. A first year on the pen is 2 × $199 + 11 × $349 = $4,237, because a fill is 28 days and a year holds 13.
A telehealth membership fee is added to the medication price. Compare what you pay in total each month.
