See assumptions or adjust the estimate

Month 1 repeats for all 6 months. One listed package and one fill per calendar month are assumptions; supply duration must be confirmed with your pharmacy. Reference prices are not guaranteed monthly or retail costs.

Default fee allowances: $11/fill dispensing, $0 shipping until quoted, $99 initial visit if needed, and $40 follow-ups in months 4, 7 and 10. Coverage assumptions reduce medication only. They do not reduce these fees. No extra manufacturer discount is deducted.

Cheapest path — the decision

Lower reference-cost scenario: Generic semaglutide

Compare costs using the same horizon, coverage assumption and fees. Reference records can use different price bases or presentations; this is not proof of equivalent doses, availability or the cheapest pharmacy.

Generic references are lower than their brand references in this dataset. The size of the difference varies by product. Alternatives use reference prices, not any custom amount entered above; no price has been adjusted to force a saving.

Save: Check manufacturer-program eligibility and whether a quoted price already includes support before subtracting another discount.
Coverage: Ask your pharmacist or insurer to confirm the exact product, indication, dispensing charges and payable balance.

Why RxTally is different

Every price has a basis

We distinguish formulary references from discounted provider packages and show the source date.

Coverage you can compare

Indication and product determine the coverage scenario. Public T2D estimates assume ODB eligibility; private percentages are planning assumptions. Fees stay visible.

No hidden cost assumptions

Review the medication, dispensing and visit amounts behind your total and adjust your quote.
