Wegovy savings card (2026): who qualifies, what you pay and how to get it

Search for a Wegovy coupon and you'll see a lot of offers. This guide is about the official one, from Novo Nordisk, the company that makes Wegovy (semaglutide). Novo calls it the Wegovy Savings Offer. Most people call it the savings card, and so do we. What it does for you depends mostly on your insurance.

What the Wegovy savings card is

NovoCare's savings page lists no fee for joining. You sign up by text or online, then take the card to your pharmacist. It covers all three forms of Wegovy:

• the Wegovy pill, where a month is 1 bottle of 30 tablets
• the Wegovy pen, where a month is 1 box of 4 pens
• Wegovy HD, the 7.2 mg pen

It does two jobs. If your commercial insurance covers Wegovy, it lowers your copay, to as little as $25 a month. If your plan doesn't cover Wegovy, or you have no insurance, it gets you Novo's self-pay prices, and you can use it at your own pharmacy, not just NovoCare Pharmacy. Our Wegovy pill guide covers the pill's doses and how to take it.

Who can get the $25 copay

The $25 copay is for people whose commercial (non-government) insurance covers Wegovy. Most plans through an employer count, and so do a few you might expect to count as government plans.

With no coverage or no insurance, there's no copay to lower. But with a valid prescription, you can use the card to pay the self-pay price. Whether Wegovy is right for you is your prescriber's call. Our GLP-1 eligibility checker walks through the BMI rules for Wegovy.

What you pay with the Wegovy coupon, with or without insurance

The self-pay prices, through the savings card or NovoCare Pharmacy:

From NovoCare, read October 6, 2026. The new-patient price is for people new to the Wegovy Savings Offer or NovoCare Pharmacy, for 2 monthly fills, through December 31, 2026. On the pill, 1.5 mg, 4 mg and 9 mg are 30-day steps, and 25 mg is the maintenance dose.

For comparison, Wegovy's list price, the price before any discount, is $1,349.02 a month for the pill, the pen and Wegovy HD. Our Wegovy cost guide has every price by dose and what a year adds up to. Which dose you take is your prescriber's call. Our Wegovy dose chart shows every step.

The $100-a-month cap, in two examples

Novo's exact words: "Pay as little as $25, subject to a maximum savings of $100/month." So the card pays up to $100 of your copay each month.

So the line falls at $125. If your copay is $125 or less, the card can bring it down to $25 ($125 minus $100 = $25). Above that, you pay your copay minus $100. Your plan can tell you what your copay is.

How to get the Wegovy savings card from NovoCare

You can sign up by text. If you'd rather do it online, the form is on the NovoCare savings page.

Self-pay money doesn't count toward your deductible

Say you have insurance, but your plan doesn't cover Wegovy, so you pay the self-pay price. NovoCare says that money "will not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket requirements and cannot be submitted for reimbursement to your insurer." So $349 a month for the pen won't bring you any closer to your deductible or your out-of-pocket maximum.

Medicare and Medicaid

If you're on Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA or another government plan, you can't get the $25 copay. Novo says you can still use the card to pay the self-pay price, outside your insurance. Medicare also has its own program, the GLP-1 Bridge.

Medicare: the GLP-1 Bridge

The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge runs from July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027. If you have Part D and qualify, you pay a flat $50 a month for Wegovy: the pill, the pen or Wegovy HD. To qualify, you need to be 18 or older, on Part D, prescribed Wegovy for weight management and not already getting a GLP-1 through your Part D plan. You also need one of these (your BMI when you started a GLP-1 counts):

• A BMI of 35 or more
• A BMI of 30 or more, with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, uncontrolled high blood pressure despite two medicines, or chronic kidney disease stage 3a or higher
• A BMI of 27 or more, with prediabetes, a past heart attack or stroke, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease

Your prescriber sends a request for approval, called a prior authorization, to one central processor. The $50 doesn't count toward your Part D deductible or your yearly out-of-pocket limit ($2,100 in 2026), and Extra Help doesn't apply to it.

If you take Wegovy for its approved heart use, or you have MASH (a type of fatty liver disease), type 2 diabetes or moderate-to-severe sleep apnea, you can't use the Bridge. You go through your normal Part D plan instead.

Medicare open enrollment runs October 15 to December 7, 2026. The Bridge sits outside Part D plans, so the $50 is the same whichever drug plan you pick. If your only Medicare coverage is a private fee-for-service plan, a cost plan or PACE, you don't qualify.

Medicaid

Medicaid coverage is state by state. As of January 2026, 13 state Medicaid programs covered GLP-1s for obesity, and several states have cut coverage since, according to KFF. Check with your state's program.

What could change

The pen's new-patient price, $199 for each of the first 2 monthly fills of 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg, runs through December 31, 2026. NovoCare says pricing will be updated after that.

The card itself can change, too. Novo Nordisk "reserves the right to modify or cancel this program at any time." Check the terms at WegovyTerms.com, or ask your pharmacist, before you count on a price.

One change is already planned. From January 1, 2027, Novo Nordisk cuts the list price of Wegovy (the 2.4 mg injection and the 25 mg pill) to $675 a month. Novo says this doesn't change its self-pay prices. It mainly helps insured people whose share is based on the list price, such as people with high deductibles or coinsurance. Every US GLP-1 price, side by side, is on our US GLP-1 price page.
