How can I get Ozempic for $25?

Ozempic is typically very pricey but there are ways to get it for less. We spoke to Dr. Felix Gussone, MD about Ozempic and how you can get it for $25.

You can get Ozempic for as little as $25 for a 1-, 2-, or 3-month prescription if you have private or employer-sponsored insurance, and successfully applied for the Ozempic savings card through Novo Nordisk. 

Many insurance plans cover Ozempic but keep in mind that health insurance may not cover Ozempic if your healthcare provider prescribed it for weight loss, which is considered to be an off-label use, instead of type 2 diabetes, for which Ozempic is FDA-approved. Without insurance, as a “cash payer,” you can expect to pay around $1,000 per month for Ozempic, but prices can vary depending on which pharmacy you use.

If you don’t have health insurance, you may be able to get Ozempic for free through the Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program (PAP). However, you must be uninsured, and a U.S. citizen or legal resident with a total household income at or below 400% of the federal poverty line to be eligible. If all of that applies to you, you can apply to get Ozempic at no cost.
