Hy-Vee, Inc. is launching a new resource to help patients with diabetes who are covered under commercial/private insurance save on hundreds of insulin products at Hy-Vee Pharmacy locations.

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.

Patients can begin accessing and applying the savings cards to their insulin prescriptions at hy-vee.com/healthnew/insulin before picking up their insulin prescription.

The 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.

“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., in a statement. “By bringing more awareness to manufacturer-sponsored savings cards, we can help more patients save on their monthly insulin prescription at Hy-Vee Pharmacy.”

Hy-Vee Pharmacy patients can refill insulin prescriptions online or by contacting their local Hy-Vee Pharmacy. New patients can transfer to Hy-Vee Pharmacy online or by contacting a nearby Hy-Vee Pharmacy.
