For eligible new U.S. patients paying outside insurance, the semaglutide (Ozempic) injection offer covered the first two fills at $199 per monthly supply.
A fill is the medicine supplied each time a prescription is used.
The opening price applied only to eligible strengths and adults aged 18 or older.
Here, strength tells you how much medicine is in one prescribed dose.
Later monthly supplies were priced at $349 or $499, depending on strength.
These offer terms run through December 31, 2026.
An insured person using this cash offer cannot ask the insurer to pay them back or count the payment toward their insurance deductible.
A deductible is what a plan requires you to pay before it starts paying covered costs.

Under a temporary program through Medicare’s drug plans, qualifying people could get certain weight medicines for $50 per monthly supply.
The program starts on July 1, 2026, and ends on December 31, 2027.
To qualify, a person must be 18 or older and enrolled in a Medicare drug plan accepted by this program. Their weight and health conditions must fit the program’s rules. Payment requires both a prescription and approval from the program.
Type 2 diabetes makes a person ineligible for this temporary program, for example.
Ask your prescriber to check your health history and drug plan against the full rules before quoting this price.
The $50 payment is handled separately from your usual Medicare drug plan. It does not count toward that plan’s annual cap on payments for covered medicines.
You can still owe the $50 even after reaching that limit for your other covered medicines.
Coupons cannot reduce the $50 payment.
