The news: Novo Nordisk will offer its weight loss drug Wegovy at a discounted price for cash-paying patients via three telehealth providers.
Consumers eligible for a Wegovy prescription can get it at Hims & Hers, Ro, and LifeMD for $499 per month (or $599 at Hims since other medical services are included). That’s over half off the drug’s monthly list price. The three telehealth companies will integrate with Novo’s new D2C online pharmacy, NovoCare, to complete medication orders.
Zooming in: Novo’s tie-up with Hims is the most surprising piece of this news considering their public feud over Hims selling compounded semaglutide (Wegovy).
