Costs & cautions

# How much does the complete plan cost?

Ask for the full amount before deciding. Keep the medicine price separate from the price of getting care.

## Name the kind of price

List price

A list price is the amount the maker publishes; cash offers and insurance payments are different kinds of price.

Self-pay

Self-pay means paying cash outside insurance. The quoted offer can have its own conditions.

Copay

Insurance or a separate payment program may leave you an amount to pay toward the medicine bill; that share is the copay.

### Can I compare the largest numbers on two pages?

Compare the same medicine for the same period of care. Check whether both prices are for shots, tablets, or the same other kind of medicine. Then ask whether each price includes the same things.

## A dated price range, with limits

Ozempic and Wegovy contain the medicine semaglutide; Mounjaro and Zepbound contain tirzepatide. Ozempic and Mounjaro treat type 2 diabetes; Wegovy and Zepbound help with weight management, as checked September 26, 2026.

Evidence note

### Cash offers for branded weight-care drugs

At the September 26, 2026 check, most maker cash offers charged $149–$499 for a month, with the exact price depending on product and strength.

Government price record: semaglutide (Ozempic)

Government price record: semaglutide tablets (Wegovy)

Government price record: semaglutide pen (Wegovy)

Government price record: tirzepatide (Mounjaro)

Some offers had a higher price when a refill was late, as recorded September 26, 2026.

That range is not a quote for every peptide or for the whole care plan.

At the September 26, 2026 check, online weight-care services often charged membership fees with medicine billed separately.

Ask whether tests, visits, shipping, or follow-up are included. Ask for the price after any opening offer ends.

## Read the offer’s end conditions

Evidence note

### A starting offer can end

The terms of many savings cards and maker offers ended on December 31, 2026, as recorded September 26, 2026.

Government price record: semaglutide (Ozempic)

Government price record: semaglutide pen (Wegovy)

That end date calls for checking the terms again; it does not predict the next price.

### Does a cheaper preparation settle the choice?

A lower price alone did not allow an ordinary pharmacy to regularly make a copy of an available drug, as checked September 26, 2026.

Under the federal rule, a prescriber could decide that a change to the medicine made a meaningful difference for one named patient, as checked September 26, 2026. That is different from a price cut.

Ask what would change in the medicine itself, such as leaving out a dye you cannot tolerate. Ask why that change is needed for you.

Put the cost answer beside the reason for care, the product name, and the pharmacy name.

Ask what your plan may pay
