Ozempic cost with Medicare

In 2026, a Medicare drug plan (Part D) can charge a deductible of up to $615, and once you've spent $2,100 out of pocket on covered drugs, you pay nothing more for covered drugs that year ($2,400 in 2027) (Medicare.gov). What you pay for Ozempic depends on your plan's drug list and your coverage phase. Starting January 1, 2027, Medicare will pay a negotiated price of $274 for a 30-day supply of semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus and Wegovy) (CMS, checked Oct 30, 2026). That's what Medicare will pay, not your copay. If your income is limited, Extra Help lowers drug costs: in 2026 you pay no more than $5.10 for a generic and $12.65 for a brand-name drug, with income under $23,940 ($32,460 for a married couple) and resources under $18,090 ($36,100 for a couple) (CMS). The free Medicare Prescription Payment Plan spreads costs into monthly payments, but it doesn't lower the total.

What is Ozempic used for?

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist given as a shot under the skin once a week. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used to:

• Improve blood sugar control, along with diet and exercise, in adults with type 2 diabetes.
• Lower the risk of heart attack, stroke and death from heart disease in adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease.
• Lower the risk of kidney disease getting worse, kidney failure and death from heart disease in adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

Ozempic pens come in three kinds: one for 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg doses (2 mg/3 mL), one for 1 mg doses (4 mg/3 mL) and one for 2 mg doses (8 mg/3 mL). A 1 mg or 2 mg pen holds 4 weekly doses. Unused pens are kept in the refrigerator. Ozempic's label does not include weight loss, and it has a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors. Ozempic tablets are a different product.
