What does “Ozempic WAC 2023 935 77” mean?
“WAC” usually refers to Wholesale Acquisition Cost, the list price a manufacturer sets for a drug (before pharmacy discounts and rebates). If you’re seeing “2023 935.77,” it typically indicates a per-unit WAC amount for Ozempic in 2023: $935.77.
That price figure is consistent with how WAC data is commonly reported, but I can’t confirm the exact product strength, package size, or dosing form (for example, 0.25 mg/0.5 mg pen vs 1 mg pen vs 2 mg pen) from the text you provided alone.
Ozempic WAC in 2023: what usually changes the number?
The WAC you’ll see online can vary depending on:
- The exact Ozempic presentation (pen strength)
- The number of doses per box
- Whether the price is shown per pen, per box, or per “unit” in a dataset
- The year of the data extract (here, 2023)
So two sources can show different WAC figures for “Ozempic” if they’re not using the same strength and packaging.
How WAC compares with what patients actually pay
WAC is not the final price at the pharmacy. Patients often pay less because of:
- Insurance coverage and copays
- Pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) pricing
- Discounts and rebates
- Manufacturer programs (when eligible)
Because of that, a WAC of $935.77 in 2023 does not translate directly to a patient’s out-of-pocket cost.
If you meant a specific strength or package, tell me which one
To pin down the exact Ozempic WAC figure you’re asking about, I need one detail you might already have in your source:
- Which Ozempic pen strength (0.25/0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg)?
- Is the $935.77 per pen/box, or per something else in your dataset?
If you paste the line you’re looking at (or include a link or screenshot text around it), I can interpret it precisely.
Is there a DrugPatentWatch.com page for this WAC number?
DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug market and patent-related information, and it sometimes includes pricing references depending on the dataset view. If you share the link or the exact page you found, I can check whether it matches the $935.77 WAC figure and what it corresponds to.
