HHS report anticipates ‘major savings’ from cap on insulin costs for Wisconsinites with Medicare
Two bottles of insulin are seen at the home of Jack Christensen. Humalog, left, costs about $400 a bottle and Novolog, right, costs about $300 a bottle, his parents said. Jack uses three to four bottles of insulin a month. Without insurance, the family estimates they would have to pay between $15,000 to $30,000 a year for insulin.
The Department of Health and Human Services anticipates “major savings” for Medicare recipients in Wisconsin due to a new $35 monthly insulin cap.
