Saxenda on Medicaid: there is no savings card and your state decides the rest

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Saxenda savings card on Medicaid?
There is no card to use. Novo Nordisk withdrew it.
What does Saxenda cost without insurance?
Novo Nordisk publishes no self-pay program for Saxenda. The telehealth chart is the priced route that is left, and it is checked every Monday.
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.
