This is arithmetic, not a plan. Fills are spaced 28 days apart — the label's own supply length — and priced on the date each one falls, so dated price changes are already included. Your prescriber decides whether you step at all, and many people stay at a lower dose.
The label's own words (once weekly)

Escalate every 4 weeks: 0.25 mg, then 0.5 mg, then 1 mg, then 1.7 mg, then the 2.4 mg maintenance dosage. A healthcare professional may select 1.7 mg, 2.4 mg or 7.2 mg as the maintenance dosage.

Every route we can price

Verified prices outrank cheaper estimates. Reference rows inform, never win.

  1. Rank 1

    Medicare GLP-1 Bridge

    until Dec 31, 2027
    $50/mo
    • All Wegovy formulations covered, injection and tablets
    • Pen needles are not covered — buy them separately
    • Runs OUTSIDE the Part D plan (central processor: Humana, BIN 028918 / PCN MEDDGLP1BR). Not available if your Part D plan already covers a GLP-1 for you, or if you have T2D, moderate-to-severe OSA, or noncirrhotic MASH (those route through standard Part D). Filling any GLP-1 through your Part D plan after you are approved ends your Bridge eligibility for good — the next Bridge refill is rejected at the counter — and so does moving to a Part D plan type the Bridge does not cover. A prescriber must attest on the prior authorization that you met a BMI category: BMI >= 35; or >= 30 with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, uncontrolled hypertension, or chronic kidney disease stage 3a or above; or >= 27 with pre-diabetes, prior myocardial infarction, prior stroke, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease. That BMI is the one you had when you STARTED GLP-1 therapy, not the one you have now — losing weight since does not disqualify you. The copay does not count toward the Part D deductible or your out-of-pocket maximum, and no coupons apply. There is no low-income subsidy — LIS beneficiaries pay it in full.

  4. TrumpRx

    reference verify locally

  5. Retail list price (reference)

    reference verify locally until Dec 31, 2026
    $1,349/mo
    • Context anchor only — what the drug costs with no route at all. Walk-in cash at retail typically exceeds WAC.
