Novo Nordisk's patient assistance program does not cover Wegovy, according to GLP Chart, checked September 7, 2026. Its product list names Ozempic and leaves Wegovy off. The Wegovy savings card lowers the price on commercial insurance, NovoCare sells Wegovy direct without insurance, and the CMS Bridge covers it on Medicare.
If NovoCare's price at your dose is more than you can carry, two cash programs to check.
