How do I get an Ozempic savings card?

Ozempic savings cards are offered by Novo Nordisk for eligible commercially insured patients. You can typically find information about the current savings program on the official Ozempic website or by asking your pharmacy. Eligibility requirements apply, and the specific savings amount and terms may change over time. Medicare, Medicaid, and other government-insured patients are generally not eligible for manufacturer copay cards.

Can I use GLP-1 coupons with insurance?

Many manufacturer savings cards are designed to work alongside commercial insurance to reduce your copay amount. For example, a savings card might bring your copay down from $150 to $25 for eligible patients. However, these cards generally cannot be used with Medicare, Medicaid, or other government insurance programs due to federal regulations. Always check the specific program's eligibility requirements.

What if I can't afford GLP-1 medication?

If you cannot afford your GLP-1 medication, there are several avenues to explore: manufacturer patient assistance programs (PAPs) may provide medication at reduced or no cost based on income; pharmacy discount tools like GoodRx can show the lowest available cash prices; your doctor may be able to suggest alternative medications; and some pharmacies have their own discount programs for uninsured or underinsured patients. Don't give up without exploring all options.

Do GLP-1 savings programs expire?

Yes, most manufacturer savings programs have expiration dates and may change their terms periodically. Savings cards typically need to be renewed annually, and some promotional offers are time-limited with specific end dates. Always check the current terms, eligibility requirements, and expiration dates when enrolling in or renewing a savings program. Visit the manufacturer's website or ask your pharmacy for the most up-to-date program details.

Tips to get the most savings

Practical steps to reduce your out-of-pocket GLP-1 costs.

1
Always ask your pharmacy about discounts
Pharmacists are often aware of savings programs and manufacturer coupons you may not know about. Ask at the counter before paying full price. Some pharmacies have their own discount programs as well.
2
Check if your employer offers specialty pharmacy benefits
Some employer-sponsored plans include specialty pharmacy benefits with lower copays for medications like GLP-1 agonists. Check with your HR department or benefits administrator about any pharmacy benefit options.
3
Compare prices across pharmacies
Cash prices for the same medication can vary by hundreds of dollars between pharmacies — even pharmacies within the same neighborhood. Use pharmacy discount tools to compare before filling your prescription.
4
Ask your doctor about samples
Some doctors' offices have sample medications from pharmaceutical representatives. While not a long-term solution, samples can help bridge gaps in coverage or allow you to try a medication before committing.
5
Check manufacturer websites regularly
Savings programs, offers, and eligibility criteria change frequently. Check the official manufacturer websites periodically for new programs, updated savings card terms, and special promotions.

Important notes

Medicare recipients

Manufacturer copay savings cards generally cannot be used by Medicare beneficiaries due to federal anti-kickback regulations. Some manufacturers offer separate patient assistance programs for Medicare patients who meet income requirements. Contact the manufacturer directly for details.

Programs change

Savings programs have eligibility requirements, expiration dates, and maximum annual savings amounts that change periodically. Always verify current terms before relying on a specific program. The information on this page is approximate as of early 2026.

Verify with your pharmacy

Your pharmacist can check current savings programs, apply manufacturer coupons, and help you find the lowest available price. They are often the best source of current pricing information for your specific situation.
