Frequently asked questions

Can I use the Saxenda savings card on Medicare?

There is no card to use. Novo Nordisk withdrew it.

Does the CMS GLP-1 Bridge cover Saxenda?

No. The Bridge covers Wegovy, Foundayo and the Zepbound KwikPen only. The Zepbound vials do not qualify.

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.

Why you can trust GLP Chart. Same scoring framework applied to every program. No paid placements. We never remove unfavorable information at an advertiser's request. Pricing is pulled from each program's public-facing page every Monday.
