Ozempic Price in Prince Edward Island

PEI Pharmacare lists Ozempic and generic semaglutide for special authorization (SA) under several of its programs, including the Nursing Home, Catastrophic and Financial Assistance programs.

PEI Pharmacare pays only after an SA request is approved under the criteria published in Appendix A of the formulary. A physician, nurse practitioner or pharmacist sends the semaglutide request form by fax or email, and incomplete forms are returned. Approvals are for a maximum of one pre-filled pen every four weeks; the listed pens go up to the 1 mg pen, and semaglutide is not covered alongside a DPP-4 inhibitor.

Semaglutide carries the formulary's Prescription Care mark, which lowers the copay for eligible medications in the programs that use it. Generic semaglutide from Apotex and Dr. Reddy's is listed with the same SA status, and claims are billed per pen. If you ask for a brand when a generic exists, you pay the copay plus the difference between the brand and the lowest-cost generic.

Wegovy is not listed on the PEI Pharmacare Formulary.
