Meijer is making Wegovy and Ozempic (semaglutide) more affordable through NovoCare savings programs, offering the two lowest-dose injection pens for $199 per month for the first two months at its pharmacy locations.
The Grand Rapids, Michigan-based retailer announced Feb. 10 that patients who haven’t used a coupon for these products previously can access the introductory pricing through March 31. After the introductory period, most doses will be available for $349 per month, while the highest Ozempic dose remains at $499 per month.
“Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re committed to meeting their needs by partnering with leading pharmacy discount programs,” said Jackie Morse, group VP of pharmacy and health at Meijer.
“Meijer is proud to offer greater access to GLP-1 medications at a price that allows individuals to take charge of their health, and our team is equipped with the knowledge our customers need when selecting GLP-1 treatments.”
Oral Wegovy available starting at $149 monthly
Meijer also announced the availability of the newly FDA-approved oral Wegovy pill, offering customers a convenient alternative to injectable GLP-1 therapy. Eligible patients can access special pricing through the NovoCare program, including out-of-pocket options starting at $149 per month and insurance co-pays as low as $25.
To benefit from these savings, customers can visit their local Meijer pharmacy and present a coupon from NovoCare when filling their prescription. No insurance is required, and Meijer pharmacists are available to guide individuals through the process and answer questions about eligibility and redemption.
Nutrition consultations complement medication access
Meijer’s commitment extends beyond medication access. Through its Nutrition by Meijer program, the retailer offers virtual consultations with registered dietitians and personalized programs for GLP-1 users. The service reflects the retailer’s approach of supporting customers not only with medication management but also with tailored nutrition and wellness guidance.
The savings programs represent Meijer’s partnership with pharmacy discount programs to improve medication affordability for customers seeking GLP-1 treatments for weight management and diabetes.
