Pharmaceutical company offering free insulin to diabetic patients who have lost health coverage

Pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk has announced that it will be offering a free supply of insulin for 90 days to people with diabetes who have lost their health insurance due to a change in job status because of the COVID-19 crisis.

 

“The pandemic is taking a serious toll on the nation’s health and economy. Millions of people are losing jobs and health coverage, and that’s especially tragic if you have a chronic disease like diabetes,” said Doug Langa, Executive Vice President, North America Operations and President of Novo Nordisk Inc.

 

Through their Diabetes Patient Assistance Program, applicants do not have to provide proof of income but must submit a document showing loss of health care benefits from job termination.

The company sets eligible applicants who meet the criteria will receive insulin free of charge for 90 days.

People applying for the program must have a valid prescription for Novo Nordisk insulin and can find out if they meet the criteria by visiting NovoCare.com or by calling 1.844.NOVO4ME (1-844-668-6463).

The company added that they understand the difficulty in obtaining specific documentation amid COVID-19 closures, saying that they have an “immediate supply option” available for customers.
