This is arithmetic, not a plan. Fills are spaced 28 days apart — the label's own supply length — and priced on the date each one falls, so dated price changes are already included. Your prescriber decides whether you step at all, and many people stay at a lower dose.
The label's own words (once weekly)

Table 1 of the prescribing information: 0.25 mg once weekly for weeks 1 through 4, 0.5 mg for weeks 5 through 8, 1 mg for weeks 9 through 12, 1.7 mg for weeks 13 through 16, and the maintenance dosage from week 17 onward. If a dose is not tolerated during escalation, the label says escalation may be delayed by 4 weeks. The 7.2 mg strength (Wegovy HD) is approved for weight reduction in adults only, and the label reaches it only after at least 4 weeks of tolerating 2.4 mg.

Every route we can price

Verified prices outrank cheaper estimates. Reference rows inform, never win.

  1. Rank 1

    Medicare GLP-1 Bridge

    until Dec 31, 2027
    $50/mo
    • All Wegovy formulations covered, injection and tablets
    • Pen needles are not covered — buy them separately
    • Runs OUTSIDE the Part D plan (central processor: Humana, BIN 028918 / PCN MEDDGLP1BR). Not available if your Part D plan already covers a GLP-1 for you, or if you have T2D, moderate-to-severe OSA, or noncirrhotic MASH (those route through standard Part D). Filling any GLP-1 through your Part D plan after you are approved ends your Bridge eligibility for good — the next Bridge refill is rejected at the counter — and so does moving to a Part D plan type the Bridge does not cover. A prescriber must attest on the prior authorization that you met a BMI category: BMI >= 35; or >= 30 with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, uncontrolled hypertension, or chronic kidney disease stage 3a or above; or >= 27 with pre-diabetes, prior myocardial infarction, prior stroke, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease. That BMI is the one you had when you STARTED GLP-1 therapy, not the one you have now — losing weight since does not disqualify you. The copay does not count toward the Part D deductible or your out-of-pocket maximum, and no coupons apply. There is no low-income subsidy — LIS beneficiaries pay it in full.

  2. Rank 2

    NovoCare Pharmacy self-pay

    $399/mo
    • Wegovy HD; NOT included in the $199 x 2-fill intro — that offer covers 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg only
    • Novo's direct channel. Free home delivery. Intro offers for new patients are time-limited.

    Verified Sep 28, 2026 · novocare.com

  3. Rank 3

    Discount card at retail (GoodRx and similar)

    verify locally
    $399/mo
    • Wegovy HD; GoodRx quotes $798 for a two-month supply and $1,197 for three
    • Sold through GoodRx for Weight Loss, which requires an eligibility assessment with one of its providers
    • Dose- and pharmacy-dependent. Verify at your ZIP before relying on it.

  4. TrumpRx

    reference verify locally
    $199/mo
    • Mirrors the NovoCare intro offer; ongoing price $349
    • Government referral site — does not sell drugs or process payments; issues coupons or routes to manufacturer DTC channels. Every figure it shows is a starting-at price — the site's own column is headed 'Lowest' — so it is a floor for the cheapest dose or intro offer, never a flat price.

  5. Retail list price (reference)

    reference verify locally until Dec 31, 2026
    $1,349/mo
    • Context anchor only — what the drug costs with no route at all. Walk-in cash at retail typically exceeds WAC.
