Plan
What am I actually paying for?
Ask for a written total. The medicine price in an ad may leave out other costs of care.
What belongs in the quote?
Ask whether the price includes the visit, medicine, any tests, delivery and follow-up.
Ask about a recurring fee, a minimum commitment and the terms for stopping. Keep those answers together.
What does a starting price leave out?
Ozempic pens hold semaglutide medicine for injection.
As of September 26, 2026, a government listing priced the first two monthly supplies of semaglutide (Ozempic) pens at $199 per month.
New patients could use the offer if they lived in the U.S., were at least 18 years old, and paid without insurance.
Only two strengths qualified: 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg. A strength tells you how much medicine each dose contains; mg is short for milligrams.
As of September 26, 2026, the later price was $349 per month for the 0.25 mg strength, the 0.5 mg strength or the 1 mg strength. For the 2 mg strength, it was $499 per month.
The introductory offer's published end date was December 31, 2026.
Is a cash price the same as an insurance price?
No. Compare the amount due under each route, using the same medicine and package.
As of September 26, 2026, medicine bought directly from its maker without using insurance did not count toward the plan's deductible or yearly out-of-pocket maximum.
With a deductible, you pay a set amount before certain benefits from the plan begin. The out-of-pocket maximum limits your spending on costs the plan covers.
Paying the maker directly does not help you reach either amount.
What can I ask before agreeing?
Ask: When the offer finishes, what will the bill be? What happens to the cost if the medicine or its strength changes?
Ask for the cost if no medicine is prescribed, and for the cancellation terms in writing.
