Hy-Vee launches new resource to help patients with private insurance access to insulin

Hy-Vee, Inc., based in West Des Moines, Iowa, is launching a new resource to help patients with diabetes who are covered under commercial/private insurance save on hundreds of insulin products at their local Hy-Vee Pharmacy.

Using a manufacturer-sponsored savings card, eligible patients with commercial/private insurance (or those without insurance who pay in cash) can get a 28-day supply of insulin for as a low as $35 per month at their Hy-Vee Pharmacy. Patients can begin accessing and applying manufacturer-sponsored savings cards to their insulin prescriptions online before picking up their insulin prescription.

The manufacturer-sponsored savings cards are available to patients ages 18 and accepted at all Hy-Vee Pharmacy locations. Once submitted online, the manufacturer-sponsored savings card will be automatically applied to future qualifying insulin prescriptions for up to 12 months at Hy-Vee Pharmacy.

“Our goal is to make it even easier for patients to manage their diabetes by increasing access to affordable insulin,” said Aaron Wiese, president of Hy-Vee, Inc. “By bringing more awareness to manufacturer-sponsored savings cards, we can help more patients save on their monthly insulin prescription at Hy-Vee Pharmacy.”
