Eli Lilly yesterday introduced a $35 monthly insulin co-pay for patients with or without commercial insurance to ensure they have access to the diabetes drug during the COVID-19 crisis.

The new co-pay card program covers most Lilly insulins, including all Humalog formulations, and all existing cards have been reset to a $35 co-pay.

The cards are not available for patients with government insurance, such as Medicaid and Medicare, or those getting state assistance.
