If you’re a Novo Nordisk A/S employee with obesity, you will have access to a unique company perk: free Wegovy.
Novo offers to reimburse staff who have been prescribed the expensive weight-loss drug by a doctor in its homeland Denmark, the company said by email. The perk, which is still taxable, is also available to employees diagnosed with conditions that other Novo drugs treat, such as diabetes and hemophilia.
