At double to triple the cost of equivalent injections, probably very few insurance plans will cover it, and in particular probably NO obamacare exchange plans will cover it. Most obamacare exchange plans have terrible formularies.
Not true. It’s being covered by most insurance companies from what I have seen. Sanofi also offers a discount card for those who want to try it( www.afrezza.com). The cost is similar to pens as well. The treatment isn’t for everyone but from talking with a few diabetics that I know, it looks to offer something they never had before. Fast acting, discreet and no needles to deal with. Also no need to refrigerate it once opened.
Actually many formularies already have it priced very reasonably. Tricare is one of them. $0.00 for active duty military and $17.00 for retired Military thru express scripts. Sanofi also has a discount plan if your Insurance carrier is not on the right formulary plan. The call it a Saving card with the first perscription being free.
So they will work hard to get acceptance from Patients,Doctors and insurance carriers.
