Insulin savings through Part D Senior Savings Model
Starting January 1, 2021, you may be able to get Medicare drug coverage that offers broad access to many types of insulin for no more than $35 for a 30-day supply. You can get this savings on insulin if you join a Medicare drug plan or Medicare Advantage Plan with drug coverage that participates in the insulin savings model. This model lets you choose among drug plans that offer insulin at a predictable and affordable cost.
Find a plan that offers this savings on insulin in your state. You can also filter and compare participating plans to help you find the plan that’s right for you. You can join during Open Enrollment (October 15-December 7, 2020).
Things to know
-Part D may cover these:
-Insulin
Certain medical supplies used to inject insulin, like syringes, gauze, and alcohol swabs
However, if you use an external insulin pump, insulin and the pump may be covered as durable medical equipment (DME) under Part B. If you live in certain areas of the country, you may have to use specific pump suppliers for Medicare to pay for an insulin pump.
