What will care actually cost?

A list price, a cash price and an insurance copay are different figures.

The drug maker publishes a figure called the list price. An insured patient’s share of the bill is called a copay.

A cash price is paid outside insurance.

The semaglutide (Wegovy) list price was about $1,349 per package in the figures checked September 26, 2026.

That is a reference figure, not a quote for your bill. Ask which price the service is showing.

As of September 26, 2026, the maker published an opening cash offer for semaglutide (Ozempic injection).

For the first two monthly supplies, each month cost $199.

It was limited to eligible new patients at specified product strengths, meaning amounts of medicine in the product.

After those supplies, the prescribed strength set the listed monthly cash price: $349 or $499.

December 31, 2026 was the end date for the introductory terms. The figures were checked September 26, 2026.

Ask for the later price of the exact product being discussed. Ask when that written quote expires.

Online weight services can bill for membership separately from medicine.

Ask whether visits, tests and shipping are included. Ask about repeat charges and how to end them.

Write down the total you expect after the opening offer. Then ask what you would owe if no prescription is issued.
