How much does a GLP-1 cost?
Anything from fully covered to over $1,000 a month at full manufacturer price.
It ranges enormously. Fully covered under prescription insurance at one end, over $1,000 a month paying the manufacturer directly at the other, with compounded supply and manufacturer savings cards in between.
What decides it is the source and your coverage, not the molecule. Pricing is a live political fight right now and it is fair to assume drops are coming, but we are not waiting for a perfect price or a perfect start date.
None of this is medical advice. It is educational material drawn from FAT BITCH: Killing the Willpower Myth by Cat Clark, and it does not replace your prescriber, your pharmacist, or your actual doctor. If something here does not match what your care team told you, go with your care team and bring this along to the conversation.
