How much did you most recently pay out-of-pocket for one month’s supply of insulin?

Starting this year, my insurance (UHC) dropped the co-pay for insulin, as long as it’s their preferred brands. I use Humalog in my pump and that’s what UHC prefers so my cost is now zero.
I said $1-25. However, I pay $60 for a three month supply.
A three month supply bills for over $2000. This does go towards our family high-deductible of $7,750. Which we typically meet between March and May each year. After that, all covered expenses, including pharmacy are covered at 100%.
I did pay $0 for my last refill. Sadly, that’s because I reached my OOP maximum due to an operation earlier in the year
For me with Medicare it’s $35/bottle and one bottle lasts well over a month because of high sensitivity. How awful and truly cruel to need larger amounts of insulin—through no fault of one’s own— and as a result have to pay such high prices to basically stay alive.
I pay $105 for a 3 month supply through Cigna Part D Medicare.
I receive my insulin from the Veterans Administration at no cost.
I Pay $105 for 6 Vials which lasts around 6 Months – $17.50 a Vial
Because I use an insulin pump then Medicare part B will pay for my insulin. I get it at Walgreens because they will bill Medicare part B. My friend uses mail order to get hers through Medicare part B.
$0. On insulin pump. Covered by Medicare part B and secondary.
I pay a lot for insurance and to get Humalog, I have to jump through hoops to satisfy them every few months.
Insulin for a pump covered as DME under Medicare Part B (80%), plus supplementary (remaining 20%) = $0. But man do they not make it easy to get that all set up.
I’ve been paying $79 for a month of Novolog but haven’t picked it up yet for June; do to having unexpected car issues (hit by a box truck who’s driver was busy on his phone). So I’m rationing it again for June.
%0. I live in the UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) where I don’t pay for ANY of my diabetes supplies. They are all paid for via our NHS (National Health Service) which is funded via direct taxation of all working people.
My last prescription for Non-branded Tresiba (Insulin Degludec) was $90 for a 2 ½ month supply WITHOUT INSURANCE. With Apps like GoodRx and other programs like Walmart/Sam’s club and the manufacturer’s discounts, even the premium insulins are very affordable.
I paid $40 for a 3 month supply of Humalog and $35 for a 3 month supply of Afrezza. I’m currently in a special manufacturer’s deal for the Afrezza. Don’t know how long that will last.
$35.00 for two bottles.
If on Mediare using pump, insulin is free
$0
I worked my butt off to have a good job with awesome benefits.
Cash from Amazon I pay for a single pen of Aspart (generic Novalog) is like $30: lasts me about 3″ weeks. Glargine (Lantus?) is like $25, lasts about2 weeks, so guessing:$90?
Retired, no insurance until I enter the VA health system which would be a pay raise?
Ooops! I paid $70 total for a Lantus vial and a Humalog vial, not $35.
Cost of insulin doesn’t matter if I can’t afford a syringe or pen needle or infusion set to inject it with.
