Overview

• Novo Nordisk’s $499 self-pay price is now available through Sam’s Club and Costco, as well as NovoCare, GoodRx, CVS and Walmart.
• Sam’s Club members can use Novo Nordisk co-pay cards to buy the drugs for $499, with home delivery offered and free same-day delivery for Plus members.
• Customers must have a doctor’s prescription to obtain Wegovy or Ozempic through these retail channels.
• Coverage for GLP-1 drugs remains inconsistent, with a KFF survey finding most users report difficulty affording treatment even with insurance.
• Wegovy holds FDA approval for chronic weight management, while Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes and is sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss.
