Cost

Wegovy and Ozempic are the same drug, priced and covered differently

Wegovy and Ozempic are both semaglutide, and both are made by Novo Nordisk. What differs is the label: Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes, Wegovy for chronic weight management and for cardiovascular risk reduction in adults with established cardiovascular disease and obesity or overweight. State Medicaid programs act on that label. Georgia carries Ozempic on its preferred drug list and no weight-loss brand appears on it. Nebraska’s GLP-1 class holds the diabetes brands only. New York excludes GLP-1 agonists, naming both Ozempic and Wegovy, where the indication is weight loss. Medicare is the exception: the BALANCE model names all formulations of both. On cash price they are close to indistinguishable, and at the provider we have read most recently the pen and the tablet cost the same under either name.

Cash price · per month

$149 to $1,349

A telehealth price for the tablet at the low end and Novo Nordisk’s own list price at the high end. Almost nobody pays the list price.

  • Ozempic pen, through the same provider $199

  • Wegovy pen, through the same provider $199

  • Wegovy, Novo Nordisk list price $1,349

Telehealth prices read from the provider’s own product cards on 26 August 2026, medication only, and every one of them requires the membership to buy. The list price is Novo Nordisk’s own, read the same day. We have not read a manufacturer self-pay price for Ozempic, so there is no row for one.

The short version

The molecule
Semaglutide in both. Rybelsus is the same molecule again, as a tablet for diabetes
The labels
Ozempic for type 2 diabetes. Wegovy for chronic weight management and cardiovascular risk reduction
Georgia Medicaid
Ozempic is on the preferred drug list. Wegovy does not appear on it
Nebraska Medicaid
The GLP-1 class holds the diabetes brands only, Ozempic among the preferred ones
New York Medicaid
Excludes GLP-1 agonists, naming Ozempic and Wegovy, where the indication is weight loss
The Medicare BALANCE model
All formulations of both. This is the one payer that does not split them
Wegovy list price
$1,349.02 a package, and the self-pay price through NovoCare is a fraction of it
What this page does not do
It does not say which one to ask for. A prescriber writes the label the diagnosis supports
