$35 Insulin Price Cap

Great news for Medicare enrollees who rely on insulin! The recent Inflation Reduction Act caps the cost of insulin for covered insulins at $35 per month, meaning that millions of Medicare beneficiaries will benefit from contained insulin drug costs in 2023.

From NPR: Eli Lilly announced on Wednesday, March 1, 2023, will cut prices for some older insulins later this year, and immediately expand a cap on costs insured patients pay when they fill prescriptions. The moves promise critical relief to some people with diabetes who can face thousands of dollars a year in bills for insulin they need to live. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings, File)
