Cheap Insulin. Some for Medicare and some for Healthcare in Washington State

We talk about Insulin a lot. Here at Suzilla and again for example. We watch the news and see articles talking about it coming. With Enrollment is your chance to make the change for 2021.

Here is the taste of the 2021 cost of insulin for Medicare recipients and said I would report if the prices did indeed go down.

Tresiba which retails for $537/box will be $35 copays throughout the year.

Lantus, retails for $414/box as low as $25 copays for most of the year.

Basaglar, retails $345/box, $35 copays. (Based on plans in my area)

If you were wondering the cost of these drug plans, they are all under $25/month

If you are just letting your Medicare D plan or your Medicare Advantage plan roll over then you might not be getting these lower costs!!

Medicare Annual Election Period is Oct 15- Dec 7th, get with your agent to review your drug plan, because you need to factor in ALL your other prescriptions!!

If you need help in Central Washington then we set up a Medicare Bot using Messenger or you can find Suzie HealthSolutions in our Wenatchee office.
