Deductible
Definition
What you pay yourself before the plan starts paying. High-deductible plans commonly run $1,500 to $8,000, which means a Wegovy patient can be paying the full cash price of roughly $1,000 a month until it is met — and that is the number worth comparing against a cash-pay seller, not the copay you reach afterwards.
