Black Llama replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"To add to this. I was on the Novo Flex pen and with UNHC's top tier plan I was paying $94 for a box of 5 pens. Lantus was $86 for the same. That was an average 30 day supply for me.
Now that I'm on both the CGMS and Dex I still have to buy…"
Zoe replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"I also get my Apidra free with the "No co-pay" offer. But when I paid for it my insurance gave me a three month supply for $40. But regarding the full retail prices described above: To get an idea of how high the U.S. at least marks…"
Clare replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"I use Apidra and Lantus Solostar pens. Right now I pay no co-pay at all for the Apidra pens because of a coupon I found online. For the lantus pens I pay a $25.00 co-pay for 3 months supply which is also because of a coupon I found online. My usual…"
christy replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"Walgreens as a whole is very expensive for insulin out of pocket. Even for the R and NPH, 70/30 insulins. When I used to be on 70/30 I could get it at Wal-Mart around 25 dollars. Walgreen it was close to 60 dollars...for 70/30 that's insanity."
Rebecca replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"I live in MN, just picked up more insulin yesterday and it's now over $430. That's the full price while I'm paying the deductible. After the deductible I don't pay a thing the rest of the year."
Rebecca replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"I just picked up more insulin yesterday, I normally don't pay attention most of the year because after my deductible is up insurance pays for my insulin. New year, new deductible. Cost me $433.55 for 3 vials of humalog. I swear it was something…"
christy replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"I know for a box of 5 Humalog pens, IF I paid out of pocket, they would have cost around $265.00. About that much for a box of five Lantus pens too. Sorry don't really have a price for the vials but that sounds about right. All the new insulins…"
Luis replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"hi how are you, i don't have insurance have to pay full price on my humalog vials.. is to much money i can't make it... need to know what kind of insurance do you have?"
Luis replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"hi how are you...what kind of insurance do you have?"
Luis replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"what type of insurance do u have?"
Luis replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"for my humalog i buy it for $165. i hope theres a insurance that will at least cover half of that.. i need to work to survive on this world."
chuck e funn replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"i think if you go to a cvs or walgreens its a lot cheaper"
Joy Pape replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"Where do you live? Is this the full price, or do you have insurance?"
wallskev replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"I get a 3 month supply of Novalog Vials through my insurances RX Home Delivery (CVS Pickup). My Cost for 6 Vials is $81.
Some cycles I get 4 Months out of the 6 Vials. Varies by my pump usage."
kestrel replied to Joy Pape's discussion 'How much does your insulin cost?'"I pay about $50 for a three month supply of Humalog vials -- not sure what that amounts to per vial.
But, OP, why are you focused on insulin? Test strips are the shocking, shocking money sink. I run ahead of my insurance sometimes, and pay $133 for…"
