A medicine price is not the whole care price

Ask which items are included. Ask what remains payable if no medicine is prescribed.
A dated cash-price example
As of September 26, 2026, the semaglutide (Ozempic) pen self-pay offer starts at $199 per fill for the first two monthly fills. [a]
Self-pay means you pay the bill without using insurance. This self-pay offer is for United States residents who are new patients aged 18 or older. [a]
The $199 offer applies only to pens whose label strength is 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg. Strength means the amount of medicine shown on the product label. Ask the pharmacist whether your prescription matches; the prescriber chooses your treatment. [a]
Later monthly fills cost $349 or $499, depending on the prescribed strength. The introductory offer runs through December 31, 2026. [a]
You can have insurance and still choose to pay outside it. Under this offer, you cannot ask insurance to repay the bill. [a]
The payment also cannot count toward your deductible, the amount your plan requires you to pay before it pays certain costs. [a]
Compare the same product and payment route
As of September 26, 2026, the same medicine can have different prices depending on how you pay. [b]
List price is the maker’s published price. A cash offer is a price paid outside insurance. [a]
A discount card may give a different cash price. An insurance savings card reduces an eligible patient’s share of an insured bill. Government programmes have their own payment terms. [b]
Ask for the price that applies to you: through your insurance, through a government programme or outside insurance. Compare that price for the same medicine, form and time period. Include monthly care fees.
Check renewal and cancellation
Ask what the next refill costs. Read the renewal terms and ask how to cancel a membership or an order.
