The Cost Plus Drugs Insulin Test Program is ending.
Because of the recent price changes offered by insulin manufacturers, pricing for Insulin Lispro through the Lilly Insulin Value Program is now better than what we can currently provide on costplusdrugs.
Cost Plus Drugs: Insulin Test Program
Our mission at the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company is to be the lowest cost provider of all FDA-approved medications. To achieve this goal, we often have to start slowly and offer medications to a limited number of patients.
Starting slow allows us to test and optimize our procedures so that we can be prepared to serve as many patients as possible.
The Cost Plus Drugs discount program is funded by Lilly USA, LLC for Insulin Lispro. The discount dollars are provided by the manufacturer sponsored assistance program for Insulin Lispro.
You will be contacted by Cost Plus Drugs when you are eligible to participate.
Please do not ask your healthcare provider to send an insulin prescription to Cost Plus Drugs until you have been contacted by Cost Plus Drugs.
If you are on this page because your doctor or someone from the Cost Plus Drugs teams has sent you here, thank you for being part of this test process. Your participation and feedback will hopefully help millions of patients who currently take insulin!
For this test, Cost Plus Drugs’ insulin pilot program offers two products:
- Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 vial
- Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 KwikPen®
No other insulins are offered at this time. Your doctor is aware of this limitation.
Pricing Information
Cost Plus Drugs’ insulin pilot program sells insulin at one price for a 90-day supply.*
Make sure to discuss this fact with your doctor and order the insulin option that meets your monthly needs.
For this test, each order must be for exactly a 90-day supply of insulin.
The costs of shipping to your door, plus the cost of the packaging required to support the cold-chain shipping requirement for insulin are significant. By offering 90 days at a time, we are able to reduce the overall average monthly cost.
*Maximum order quantities per 90-day supply:
Because our cold shipping containers can only hold up to a certain amount of insulin, we can only support orders up to the following amounts per order:
8 packs of Insulin Lispro KwikPens® (40 total KwikPens®)
OR
12 vials of Insulin Lispro
If you attempt to order more than 8 packs of KwikPens® or 12 vials, your order will be automatically cancelled.
INSURANCE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR THIS TEST.
Our shipping and handling fee is $65 per order.
This includes fulfillment, packaging and shipping. There may be incremental cost for shipments to Hawaii and Alaska.
Insulin Lispro
(with discount program funded by Lilly USA, LLC)
$105
Packaging & Shipping
$65
90-Day Supply Cost
$170
In summary, our total price for a 90-day supply of insulin is $170.
If you use 2 vials of insulin per month, this price is equivalent to $28.33 per vial.
If you use 3 vials of insulin per month, this price is equivalent to $18.89 per vial.
If you use 4 vials of insulin per month, this price is equivalent to $14.17 per vial.
We realize that for those patients that only use 1 vial per month the price is $56.67 per vial, which is higher than we would like it to be. We will work hard to get that price lower as quickly as we can.
