Insulin savings

Important message about what you pay for insulin

You won’t pay more than $35 at a non-preferred pharmacy and $30 at a preferred pharmacy for a one-month supply of each insulin product covered by our plan, no matter what cost-sharing tier it’s on, even if you have not paid your deductible.

Getting Help from Medicare - If you chose this plan because you were looking for insulin coverage at $35 a month or less, it is important to know that you may have other options available to you for 2023 at even lower costs because of changes to the Medicare Part D program. 

Contact Medicare, at 1-800- MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for help comparing your options. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048

Additional resources to help – Contact our Customer Care center at 877-232-7566 (TTY:711) for additional information. 7:30 am-5 pm Monday-Thursday and 8 am-4:30 pm (year-round).
