The short version
Wegovy launched in 2021 and has had three more years than Zepbound to land on insurance formularies. Coverage is broader, prior-auth criteria are better documented and the cash-pay path through NovoCare ($199-$499/mo) has stabilised. If you specifically want brand Wegovy and not compounded semaglutide, you're looking for either an in-network insurance program that runs the PA or a clean cash-pay route through NovoCare-aware prescribers.
What we considered
- Active prescribing of brand Wegovy (not just compounded)
- Prior authorization handling on commercial insurance
- NovoCare cash-pay coordination if insurance doesn't cover
- Speed and cost predictability
