Additionally, the Company has other affordability options, including a patient assistance program and co-pay savings cards.
“Today, we have made available additional options recognizing the different situations that make insulin unaffordable or inaccessible,” said Doug Langa, executive vice president, North America Operations and president of Novo Nordisk Inc. “With these programs, in conjunction with NNI’s investment in rebates to ensure our medicines are on formularies, we are continuing to take action to help people with diabetes afford their insulin as we work toward much needed longer-term change.”
