Overview

• The retailer will offer a four-week supply for $499 at more than 600 U.S. pharmacies to members with a valid prescription.
• The price matches Novo Nordisk’s direct website and existing arrangements at Walmart and CVS.
• Novo Nordisk executives say the move is meant to steer patients to authentic products rather than compounded or unapproved versions.
• Clinicians say the option may help some patients, yet coverage gaps and costs persist, with many plans excluding obesity treatment and only 13 state Medicaid programs covering it.
• Typical retail prices run about $1,300 for Ozempic and $1,600 for Wegovy, and eligible Costco Executive members and Costco Citi cardholders can get 2% back on purchases.
