Semaglutide is available as other, cheaper brand names. For example, Ozempic has similar dosages (I think 1.5mg and 3.0mg), and compounding pharmacies might be able to make you semaglutide doses that get even closer to Wegovy's. There's also Rybelsus, the oral semaglutide pill. (I'm not a doctor or in the medical/pharmaceutical industry, so please consult your doctor and pharmacist, they often know crafty ways to get insurance to cover things. Also, don't be afraid to work with your employer's HR, they can often administratively include things as an exception.)
