Buy Insulin Online

Probably one of the most beneficial ways to save money on diabetes care is to buy insulin online. The thing is that most drug companies on the web usually offer much more reasonable prices than a local pharmacy at the corner of your street. Still, the quality of the medications remains the same. If an online store is reliable, it will sell only authentic and qualitative insulin products and their analogs. Moreover, most drug stores on the web tend to offer pharmacy discounts for wholesale purchases or special insulin discount cards. Therefore, you might get the needed medication for a very affordable price.

Take it into account: Only people who have a valid prescription from their health care practitioners are eligible to buy insulin online.

Order Canadian Insulin

Another method of managing diabetes in a money-saving way is to order Canadian insulin. Interestingly enough, both brand-name and generic drugs cost less in Canada than in the U.S. The main reason for it is that the Canadian government has special health care programs that strictly regulate the price for life-saving medications, diabetic supplies being one of them. As a result, you might have your insulin pens, vials, or pumps delivered to you from Canada at the lowest cost.

Take it into account: It is legal for Canadian pharmacies to deliver diabetes-related medications and other supplies to Canada. However, they should be intended for private use only. As well, their quality is defined with the help of a patient’s valid prescription and should not exceed a 3-month supply.

Check Out Your Insurance Coverage

Also, how about checking out the conditions of your health insurance plans? A great number of them include savings programs that allow to cut back on insulin. If you are not sure whether your patient assistance program covers the cost of insulin or its analog, ask your doctor about it.

You might even consider comparing insurance plans and choosing the one that will partially or fully cover your insulin expenses. Sometimes, it might be much more reasonable to contribute money to a new cost-effective insurance plan that allows you to save on diabetes-related medications than to overpay for them without using any patient assistance programs.

Take it into account: Not all health care insurance rules allow you to buy diabetes-related medications for a lower price. For instance, a standard Medicare drug plan does not cover insulin expenses. However, there exists a great number of both high-deductible and low-deductible plans that offer numerous discount drug cards that allow cutting down insulin costs.

A Bottom Line

Hopefully, the above-mentioned money-saving tips will allow you to cut your expenses on diabetes-related medications. Feel free to try them out and take advantage of beneficial insulin prices!
