Read past the headline price.

Read price examples with their limits.

As of September 2026, government listings show a starting cash price of $149 a month for semaglutide (Wegovy) tablets, a weight-management medicine. [a]

Tirzepatide (Zepbound), a weight-management injection, starts at $299 a month in those listings as of September 2026. [a]

These are prices for the lowest offered strength, rather than every strength or every care plan. [a]

Request a price for the particular product proposed, plus separate entries for the visit and every other charge.

Ask whether the fee covers the medicine.

In a sample of online services offering help with weight, monthly fees were common as of September 2026. Medicine was usually priced separately in that sample. [b]

Ask which fees apply to the service you are considering. Read its actual terms.

• Is this a visit fee, a membership, or a bundle?
• Does the quoted total include the medicine?
• Are tests, shipping, and later visits included?
• Does the fee continue if no prescription is issued?
• How does cancellation work, and is any payment committed in advance?

Read the offer’s end date.

As of September 2026, the drug company’s introductory injection offers for semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic), and savings cards for tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), have terms ending on December 31, 2026. [b]

The published Wegovy price terms also call for an update after that date; check the terms for the exact product, including the tablets listed above. [b]

That date does not predict the next price. It is the point after which those printed terms no longer promise a price. [b]

Ask what applies after an introductory offer, when a refill is late, and when the terms are renewed.

Keep payment routes separate.

Prices differ by payment route: the list price, an offer for cash payment, a price with a discount card, a copay through insurance, or a government programme’s price. [b]

A copay is the patient’s share under a plan or programme.

As of September 2026, drug-company savings cards exclude Medicare, Medicaid, and other government coverage, while the company’s prices for people paying without insurance can follow different terms. [b]

Ask what payment route the quote assumes and whether your coverage qualifies.
