Novo Nordisk lowers Ozempic cost to $499 per month for uninsured U.S. patients, expanding access through NovoCare and 70,000 pharmacies.

Novo Nordisk announced Monday that US patients can now get a month’s supply of Ozempic, the blockbuster diabetes drug, for $499, for those who pay for medications on their own and don’t go through insurance.

Who benefits? The reduced price applies to self-paying patients—those without insurance, or whose insurance doesn’t cover Ozempic. More than 70,000 U.S. pharmacies are participating through partnerships with GoodRx and NovoCare, Novo Nordisk’s cash-pay pharmacy.
