The Wegovy savings card is the maker's copay program for Wegovy, the brand-name semaglutide pen and tablet. It works on top of a commercial plan that already covers the drug, and it does nothing for anyone whose drug coverage comes from a government program.[1]
The price without any coverage is set out in the Wegovy cost guide for the pen and the Wegovy pill cost guide for the tablet. This page is about the card: who qualifies, what it caps, and who it leaves out.
| Your coverage | Can you use the card? | What you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial plan that covers Wegovy | Yes | As little as $25; savings capped at $100 per 1-month fill |
| Commercial plan that does not cover Wegovy | Through the self-pay offer | The self-pay price: $349 per pen box, from $149 per tablet bottle |
| Medicare, Medicaid, VA, DoD or TRICARE | No | The plan's own terms, or the Medicare route below |
| Federal employee, marketplace or state employee plan | Yes | Treated as commercial coverage for this offer |
What the card caps
The terms promise a price as low as $25, but the savings stop at $100 for a 1-month prescription, $200 for two months and $300 for three[1]. A 1-month fill is one box of four pens, a 28-day supply, or one bottle of 30 tablets[1].
Put those two numbers together and the arithmetic is simple. If your plan’s copay for a month is $125 or less, the card can bring it down to $25. Above $125, you pay your copay minus $100, so a high deductible still reaches you.
That is why the right question for your plan is not whether it covers Wegovy. Ask what your copay or coinsurance for one month will be before the card is applied, and whether a deductible comes first.
Who the card leaves out
You are not eligible if you are enrolled in any federal or state health program with drug coverage, and the terms name Medicaid, Medicare, VA, DoD and TRICARE[1]. The consumer page puts it more briefly: government beneficiaries are excluded[2].
The terms also say what does not count as a government program for this offer. Federal Employees Health Benefits plans, marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, and state employee plans are all treated as eligible coverage[1].
The exclusion has a legal root. The HHS Office of Inspector General treats a copay coupon on a drug a federal program may pay for as remuneration that implicates the anti-kickback statute[3]. It notes that coupons typically carry a statement that federal program beneficiaries may not use them[3].
Other conditions in the fine print
- You need a valid prescription, written for an FDA-approved use within the label.
- It cannot be combined with another coupon or with the self-pay discount.
- Medication filled before you enroll cannot be reimbursed.
- Massachusetts availability depends on state law when you fill.
- Mail-order fills can be reimbursed by claim, within 180 days of the fill.
Each of those conditions is in the program terms, which also let the maker change or end the offer at any time[1]. Read them again before each fill, because the card is checked every time it is used[1].
If your plan does not cover Wegovy
The card then works as a route to the self-pay price. The terms set a pen box at $349 and the first tablet bottle at $149[1]. New self-pay patients get $199 for their first 2 pen boxes at the starting doses[1].
Self-pay comes with its own promise. You agree not to seek reimbursement from any insurer or count the purchase toward a deductible[1]. That matters if you hoped to use the spend to reach a deductible later in the year. Paying from a health savings account is a separate question, covered in can you use an HSA for peptides. Lilly’s card for Zepbound works differently, as Zepbound savings card explains.
If you are on Medicare
The card is closed to you, but CMS runs a separate program. Eligible Part D enrollees pay a $50 copay for Wegovy under it[5], through the end of 2027[4]. It needs a prior authorization and has its own clinical criteria[4], set out in does Medicare cover Wegovy.
The question to ask before you enroll
Ask your plan two things. Does it run an accumulator or maximizer program on this drug, and what is your copay for one month before any coupon? The first decides whether you may use the card at all. The second decides whether it gets you to $25 or only takes $100 off. Plan coverage rules in general are in the insurance guide.
