Wegovy is a semaglutide product studied and approved for chronic weight management in eligible adults. BC patients usually pay cash or private insurance for obesity pathways — public coverage is limited.
Typical cost buckets
| Item | What to expect (order of magnitude) |
|---|---|
| Medication (cash) | Often CA$400–570+/month at maintenance — confirm with pharmacy |
| Initial consult / program fee | Varies widely by clinic (often low hundreds for private programs) |
| Follow-ups | Built into packages or billed per visit |
| Labs | May be MSP-insured when medically indicated; program add-ons vary |

PharmaCare reality
Obesity-only Wegovy is generally not routinely covered by BC PharmaCare. Diabetes Special Authority for other products is a separate story. MSP & PharmaCare guide.
How to lower total cost without unsafe shortcuts
- Ask about follow-up frequency and what is included in program fees.
- Use one clinic for titration — ER visits from unmanaged side effects cost more.
- Stack free lifestyle tools: GLP-1 nutrition, diet builder.
- Avoid unregulated online “research chem” pens.
