What was the official 2023 list price for Ozempic (and is $935.77 a “real” number)?
Ozempic (semaglutide) prices in the U.S. are typically quoted as “list price” (the price published by the manufacturer/distributor), but the exact figure depends on the specific package strength and count of pens, and “official” pricing can be presented by different data sources.
If you’re seeing “$935.77” tied to Ozempic in 2023, the most common reason it varies from other figures is that it may correspond to a particular NDC/package configuration (for example, a specific mg strength and pen count), not all Ozempic presentations.

What “list price” doesn’t tell you (why patients may pay very different amounts)
Even when the published list price is around the figure you mentioned, what patients actually pay can be much lower or higher depending on:
- insurance coverage and negotiated pricing
- pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) contracts
- manufacturer coupons/copay programs (when eligible)
- Medicare/Medicaid rules
- out-of-pocket vs. copay vs. deductible status
If you share the exact Ozempic package (strength + pen count), I can pinpoint the exact 2023 list price
Ozempic comes in multiple strengths/package sizes. To match “$935.77” to the correct official 2023 list price, tell me:
- the Ozempic strength (e.g., 0.25 mg/0.5 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, etc.)
- how many pens are in the box (and/or the NDC if you have it)
