Is Ozempic HSA-Eligible? (2026)
Ozempic is HSA-eligible when prescribed by a doctor for diabetes or weight management.
Typical Cost
$25–$500/month (with insurance); $800–$1,300/month (without)
Details
Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription medication, so it's HSA-eligible when prescribed by a licensed provider. Originally approved for Type 2 diabetes, it's now widely prescribed for weight management too. Wegovy (the weight-loss-specific version) is also eligible. The key is having a valid prescription - the indication doesn't matter for HSA purposes. These meds aren't cheap though: $800–$1,300/month without insurance.
Requirements
Requires a valid prescription from a licensed provider.
