Wegovy, a medication used to treat obesity, can be quite expensive, making it challenging for patients to afford. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the cost of Wegovy prescriptions. Here are some potential discounts and options to consider:

1. Manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program: Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Wegovy, offers a patient assistance program that provides discounted pricing for eligible patients. Patients can apply for the program through the Novo Nordisk website [1].
2. Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs): Many pharmaceutical companies, including Novo Nordisk, offer PAPs that provide discounted or free medications to eligible patients. Patients can search for PAPs on the Partnership for Prescription Assistance website [2].
3. Discount Cards: Discount cards, such as the NeedyMeds Discount Card, can provide discounts on prescription medications, including Wegovy [3]. Patients can sign up for the card on the NeedyMeds website.
4. Coupons and Promotional Offers: Pharmaceutical companies often offer coupons and promotional offers for their medications. Patients can check the Novo Nordisk website or contact their healthcare provider for any available offers [4].
5. Insurance Coverage: Patients should check their insurance coverage to see if Wegovy is covered and what the copay or coinsurance is. They can also contact their insurance provider to see if there are any discounts or programs available [5].
6. Patient Assistance Foundation: The Patient Assistance Foundation provides financial assistance to patients who are uninsured or underinsured. Patients can apply for assistance through the foundation's website [6].

It's essential to note that patients should always consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new medication and discuss any concerns or questions they may have about Wegovy or its pricing.
