Costco GLP-1 Program 2026: Ozempic & Wegovy for $349/mo (Full Review)

The deal in one paragraph

Costco partnered with Novo Nordisk and telehealth provider Sesame to offer members brand-name Ozempic and Wegovy at $349/month self-pay, about half the retail cash price, with new patients paying $199/month for their first two fills. Prescriptions come through Success by Sesame video consultations (~$59/month), and you pick up at your local Costco Pharmacy. All-in ongoing cost: roughly $408/month.

How it works, step by step

  1. Be a Costco member. Gold Star ($65/yr) or Executive ($130/yr). The discount is a member benefit.
  2. Join Success by Sesame. Online signup, video consult with a licensed clinician, from $59/month on the annual plan (10% member discount).
  3. Get prescribed if appropriate. The clinician evaluates you for Ozempic, Wegovy, or alternatives including the Wegovy pill.
  4. Fill at Costco Pharmacy. $349/month for the injection ($199 first two months for new patients). Wegovy pill: $149 starter, $299 maintenance.

Real cost breakdown

ComponentCost
Costco membership$65 to $130/year
Sesame care (annual plan)~$59/month
Ozempic/Wegovy injection$349/month ($199 first 2 months)
Wegovy pill$149 starter / $299 maintenance
All-in ongoing (injection)~$408/month

Costco vs telehealth vs NovoCare direct

RouteAll-in monthlyMedication type
Costco + Sesame~$408Brand-name injection
NovoCare direct (own Rx)$349 injection / $149 pillBrand-name
Telehealth compounded$149 to $299Compounded semaglutide
Retail pharmacy cash$1,000 to $1,400Brand-name

The honest read: if you already have a prescription, NovoCare direct is cheaper than Costco+Sesame because you skip the $59/month care fee. If you need a prescriber and want brand-name medication, Costco is competitive. If you want the lowest possible price, compounded telehealth wins by $100 to $250/month.

Who the Costco program is best for

  • Existing Costco members who want brand-name medication without insurance
  • People who prefer picking up at a physical pharmacy over mail-order
  • Patients who want a real clinician relationship (Sesame) rather than a pill mill

Who should look elsewhere: anyone whose top priority is lowest cost (compounded telehealth is cheaper), and non-Costco members who would pay $65+ just to access the program.
