Frequently asked questions
What if my plan drops Ozempic from its formulary?
The card goes with it. A card covers your share of a covered drug, so a drug your plan no longer lists has no share for it to cover. Our payer coverage pages carry the policy numbers and the dates we read them.
What does Ozempic cost without insurance?
The NovoCare self-pay pill is $149 a month at 1.5mg, $199 at 4mg and $299 at 9mg. The pen is $199 a month for a new patient's first 2 fills at 0.25mg and 0.5mg through December 31, 2026, then $349 a month at 0.25mg, 0.5mg and 1mg and $499 a month at 2mg.
Can I stack a savings card and a pharmacy discount coupon?
No. You use the manufacturer card or a discount coupon on one fill, never both. For anyone with commercial insurance the card almost always wins.
GLP Chart is an independent comparison site, not a pharmacy and not a medical provider. Card and cash terms are read at the manufacturer's own page and dated. They can change on any day, so confirm yours before your next fill. Chart prices are checked every Monday.
