If a prescription is needed, members can obtain one through Sesame’s online weight loss program, Success by Sesame (if clinically appropriate)

If you’re a Costco Member, there’s a new reason to love your membership: self-pay patients can now get 50% off Ozempic and Wegovy – just $499 for a 4-week supply – at Costco Pharmacy with an active prescription. Don’t have a prescription? You can get one through Success by Sesame, Sesame’s weight loss program, if it’s appropriate for you. Here’s everything you need to know!

How are these medications half the price?

Costco has partnered directly with Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, to make these FDA-approved medications available at a lower, flat monthly price for self-pay patients. That means you don’t need insurance to purchase these medications at the discounted $499 price through Costco Pharmacy.

How much do Ozempic and Wegovy normally cost?

If you’ve looked into GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy, you probably know how costly they can be! The list price for Ozempic is around $968 per month, while Wegovy is about $1,349 per month. That’s a major barrier for patients with high deductibles or without insurance who are paying out of pocket for their care.

Luckily, these discounted self-pay prices make Wegovy and Ozempic far more accessible. And since you don’t need insurance to use the Success by Sesame weight loss program, getting a prescription for these medications is more accessible as well.

How can Costco members access these discounts?
