It might be time to dust off that Costco card.
The wholesale giant has partnered with Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk to offer blockbuster weight-loss medications like Ozempic and Wegovy at deep discounts for members without insurance.
“Everyone deserves care that’s simple, reliable and within reach — and we’re proud to lead the way in helping make that a reality,” Dave Moore, executive vice president of Novo Nordisk’s US operations, told Fox Business.
Starting Friday, Oct. 3rd, eligible members can grab a four-week supply of the injectable GLP-1s for $499 at more than 600 Costco pharmacies nationwide.
Costco Executive Members and Costco Citibank Visa cardholders can snag an extra 2% off their prescriptions, subject to applicable terms, a Novo Nordisk spokesperson told PEOPLE, subject to terms.
That’s notable, because many health plans don’t cover the pricey medications. Without insurance, a month’s supply runs about $1,000 for Ozempic and $1,350 for Wegovy, according to GoodRx.
To get in on the deal, shoppers need a valid prescription and must be enrolled in the Costco Member Prescription Program. For those with insurance, the price depends on their plan.
