Are there patient assistance programs for Ozempic and Wegovy?

Yes, both Novo Nordisk (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Eli Lilly (Mounjaro, Zepbound) offer patient assistance programs for eligible patients. Novo Nordisk's Patient Assistance Program provides free medication to uninsured patients who meet income criteria (typically up to 400% of the federal poverty level). They also offer a savings card for commercially insured patients that can reduce copays to as low as $25 per month.

Eli Lilly offers similar programs for Mounjaro and Zepbound, including copay assistance cards and patient support programs. However, these programs generally cannot be used with Medicare or Medicaid. Some independent nonprofit organizations also offer assistance programs that may help bridge coverage gaps for qualifying patients.
