Retail (cash)

What the pharmacy charges if you walk in with no coupon and no insurance. Use it as the upper bound, not the expected price.

GoodRx coupon

The discount cards anyone can use without insurance. Honored at most major U.S. pharmacy chains.

With insurance

Estimated copay if your plan covers the medication for your indication. Many plans require prior authorization.

Telehealth

Subscription pricing through licensed online providers (e.g. Ro, Hims). Brand-name only — compounded options are excluded.

A note about the insurance column.

This reflects the manufacturer savings card rate, available with most commercial insurance that covers the medication — not a guarantee of coverage. If your plan doesn't cover it for weight loss (very common for Wegovy and Zepbound), you'll fall back to the cash or telehealth column.

~63%
of commercial plans cover at least one GLP-1 for weight loss

Where the retail prices come from

Average cash price across the five largest U.S. pharmacy chains (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, Costco), pulled monthly.

Where the telehealth prices come from

Median monthly subscription price across major providers offering brand-name GLP-1s. Not promotional or first-month rates.

What we don't show

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. They can be cheaper but are not FDA-approved formulations; safety and consistency vary by source.
