Apidra savings card from the maker

How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Apidra

Apidra is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold.

Ask your pharmacy for Apidra’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.

Free from the maker, if you qualify Sanofi Patient Connection (Patient Assistance Connection). You must have an annual household income of ≤400% of the current Federal Poverty Level. Or call 1-888-847-4877.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Apidra itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Apidra is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.

Regular genericNot sold

Apidra is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Apidra’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.

Good to know

“Commercial insurance” means a plan from a job, from the marketplace, or one you buy yourself. A retiree plan that’s part of Medicare counts as Medicare. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
Most cards need a sign-up on the maker’s site, and many work only if your plan covers the drug. Then give the card’s details to your pharmacy.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
