SnagRx's $99 buys compounded semaglutide, a pharmacy-made version that is not FDA-approved and is not Wegovy or Ozempic. If your work plan covers semaglutide, a manufacturer savings card takes branded Wegovy or Ozempic to $25 a month, which beats it.

Which row is yours

Start with the card in your wallet. A commercial plan that covers semaglutide puts you on the savings card at $25, the lowest number on this page. A plan that excludes it leaves you paying cash, and the choice is branded or compounded. Federal law bars the savings card on Medicare and Medicaid. On Medicare the route is the $50 Bridge. On Medicaid it is whatever your state covers.

The branded cash price is $299 a month and the compounded cash price is $76. NovoCare sells the drug the FDA reviewed. A compounding pharmacy makes its version to a prescription, and the FDA does not review it for safety, effectiveness or quality. Its formulation, including the salt form, can differ from the approved drug. Confirm the active ingredient and the pharmacy with the prescriber before you start.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest semaglutide?

It depends on who is paying. With commercial insurance that covers it, a manufacturer savings card takes branded Wegovy or Ozempic to $25 a month. On Medicare Part D, the CMS GLP-1 Bridge is a flat $50 a month through December 31, 2027. Paying cash for the approved drug, NovoCare sells the Wegovy pill for $299 a month at maintenance. The lowest cash price of any kind is compounded semaglutide at about $76 a month, which is a pharmacy-made version the FDA has not approved.

Is compounded semaglutide cheaper than Wegovy?

Yes, and it is not the same purchase. Compounded semaglutide starts at $76 a month against $299 for the branded Wegovy pill direct from NovoCare. Compounded semaglutide is made by a licensed compounding pharmacy to a prescription. The FDA does not review it for safety, effectiveness or quality, and its formulation, including the salt form, can differ from the approved drug. Confirm the active ingredient and the pharmacy with the prescriber.

Can I use a savings card if I am on Medicare or Medicaid?

No. Federal anti-kickback law bars manufacturer savings cards for anyone covered by Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE or any other federal or state health program. On Medicare, the route is the CMS GLP-1 Bridge. On Medicaid, the route is your state's own coverage, and the rules differ in every state.

Is the Wegovy pill the same drug as the injection?

Both are semaglutide and both are made by Novo Nordisk. The pill is a daily tablet and the injection is a weekly pen. NovoCare sells the pill for $299 a month at maintenance doses and less at the starter dose. The pill is the cheaper branded route in 2026.
