Costco shoppers comparing Wegovy costs may see different prices for injections and tablets. The amount depends on dosage form, strength, membership status, eligibility, and the date a prescription is filled.
Costco's Member Prescription Program, or CMPP, lists self-pay member prices for Wegovy. CMPP is a prescription discount program rather than insurance. The discounted amount is paid in full when the prescription is filled, and the purchase generally does not count toward an insurance deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
CMPP pricing cannot be combined with insurance for the same prescription transaction. Patients with insurance coverage may wish to compare a plan's copay or coinsurance with Costco's displayed cash price. Patients whose insurance does not cover Wegovy can also compare Costco pricing with any manufacturer-sponsored self-pay or savings program for which they qualify.
Costco membership is central to CMPP pricing, although a membership is not required to purchase prescription drugs from a Costco pharmacy. Nonmembers may purchase prescriptions at Costco warehouses or online, while the exclusive CMPP member price requires a qualifying membership and use of the member prescription program. Eligible members may also use CMPP for eligible dependents, including family members and pets, subject to program rules.
Costco currently lists $199 per month for Wegovy injections in the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg strengths. The displayed promotional price applies to the first two fills and is scheduled to remain available through December 31, 2026, for eligible self-pay patients.
After the introductory period, Costco lists $349 per month for injection strengths from 0.25 mg through 2.4 mg. The Costco page separately displays the $199 introductory amount for the two lowest strengths and the $349 amount for the 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg strengths. The actual treatment schedule, dose escalation, prescription quantity, and eligibility depend on the prescribing clinician and applicable program terms.
The injection supply is generally one box containing four prefilled pens for a month. The listed injection strengths are 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg per injection dose. These strengths should not be treated as interchangeable with the tablet strengths.
Costco's 2026 member page also lists Wegovy tablets in four strengths. The 1.5 mg and 4 mg tablets are listed at $149 per month, while the 9 mg and 25 mg tablets are listed at $299 per month.
The displayed $149 monthly price for the 4 mg tablet is scheduled through August 31, 2026. Beginning September 1, 2026, the listed 4 mg price is scheduled to become $199 per month under the terms currently shown. The 1.5 mg tablet remains listed at $149 per month, and the 9 mg and 25 mg tablets remain listed at $299 per month.
For tablets, a one-month supply is generally one bottle containing 30 tablets. Tablet strengths are expressed in milligrams of oral semaglutide, while injections are supplied as Wegovy prefilled pens. The two dosage forms have different administration instructions and must not be combined into one dose schedule.
NovoCare's self-pay terms provide a useful comparison. For Wegovy injections, NovoCare lists $199 for each monthly fill of 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg for eligible new patients, with the introductory pricing covering two monthly fills through December 31, 2026. After that period, NovoCare lists $349 per month for the 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg injection strengths.
NovoCare separately lists Wegovy HD, the 7.2 mg injection, at $399 per month. Costco's current CMPP page lists injections through 2.4 mg and does not display a separate Costco price for Wegovy HD.
For tablets, NovoCare lists $149 per month for the 1.5 mg and 4 mg strengths. The 4 mg price is scheduled to become $199 per month after August 31, 2026. NovoCare lists $299 per month for the 9 mg and 25 mg strengths. The manufacturer terms displayed for tablets therefore match the Costco tablet prices currently shown, although eligibility rules may apply and programs may change or end.
A valid prescription must be sent to a local Costco pharmacy or Costco mail-order pharmacy. At a participating pharmacy, the patient presents a Costco membership card. Costco states that no additional coupon or discount card is required for the displayed member pricing.
The online Member Prescription Program search can help members review available drug information and, when available, Costco pricing. Prices may vary by location and may change over time. Mail-order prices may exclude shipping and handling charges, and local warehouse availability can differ.
Before selecting CMPP, a patient can compare three figures: the Costco member cash price, the insurance copay or coinsurance, and the price of any eligible manufacturer self-pay program. The comparison should also account for whether a purchase counts toward insurance spending limits, since CMPP purchases generally do not apply to a deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
The prescribing clinician remains responsible for determining the appropriate dosage form, strength, prescription quantity, and treatment schedule. Price comparisons are most useful after the prescribed form and strength are known.
Three dates are especially relevant to Costco members. August 31, 2026, is the scheduled end of the displayed $149 monthly price for the 4 mg Wegovy tablet. September 1, 2026, is the date when that listed tablet price is scheduled to rise to $199.
December 31, 2026, is the scheduled end of the current two-fill introductory price of $199 for the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg Wegovy injections. The standard post-promotion injection price currently shown is $349 per month for strengths through 2.4 mg.
Program terms, eligibility, supply, location, and manufacturer conditions can affect the final amount. Prices shown on Costco or NovoCare pages should be checked before a prescription is filled.
Costco's 2026 Wegovy pricing separates injections from tablets, with different strengths, dates, and monthly amounts. The main figures include $199 for eligible introductory injection fills, $349 for listed injection strengths after the introductory period, $149 for selected tablets, and $299 for the 9 mg and 25 mg tablets. Reviewing the prescription details, insurance costs, CMPP eligibility, manufacturer terms, and current pharmacy pricing can support a more informed choice.
