How much does Ozempic cost without insurance?

halfrx records Ozempic at $349 a month paying cash, read from its own published page on 2026-09-22. That is one of 11 verified routes to semaglutide on this site, and the cheapest of them is Strut Health at $129 a month. A pharmacy acquires it for about $996 a month under the federal NADAC survey, which is the number the price above is worth reading beside. A year is not twelve times the monthly figure: walking the titration ladder at each step's published price, and counting the thirteen fills a 28-day month bills, gives $4,237 rather than the $4,188 the monthly price implies. Paying cash is a different transaction from being covered: the cash price does not touch a deductible. A plan that covers the drug can cost less or more than this, depending on the plan rather than on the drug.

Everything on Ozempic

Ozempic cost, answered

How much is Ozempic without insurance?
$349 a month paying cash, read from its own published page on 2026-09-22. That is the maintenance figure — what you pay once titrated — rather than an introductory rate covering the first month or two.
What is the cheapest way to get Ozempic without insurance?
Strut Health at $129 a month, of 11 verified routes to semaglutide — each with its source and the date it was read, and listed in full above. That one is compounded rather than FDA approved, which is a legal status rather than a quality claim: it has no trial of its own and no approved label, and the pharmacy that makes it decides what is in it. Cheapest is not the same as best value: the table carries the maintenance price, because a starting-dose headline is not what anyone pays for long.
Is there a cheaper route to the same medication?
halfrx records 11 verified routes to semaglutide. The cheapest is Strut Health at $129 a month, though that one is compounded rather than FDA approved, which is a legal status and not a quality claim. They are listed in full above with the date each was checked.
Does a cash price touch my deductible?
No. Paying cash is a transaction outside your plan, so it neither counts toward a deductible nor toward an out-of-pocket maximum. That cuts both ways: it is often cheaper today and it buys nothing toward the year's cap. Whether your plan covers this at all is a separate question — see does insurance cover it.

Every figure here carries its source and the date it was read, shown on each seller's own listing. Where a price is not published, this page says so. Information only, not medical advice.
