It’s a step in the right direction, but $499 a month indefinitely is still out of reach for too many folks that need this medication.

You just made my day!!! I have been fretting because I have Caremark and am on 15mg and since my husband (aka my insurance provider) works for the University of Tennessee, I’m not eligible for the savings card so I was looking at having to pay full price out of pocket for the pen or how to hack making a 10mg vial be a 15mg dose. I’m so excited!! Thank you for everything you do for us!!

That's great news!! Thank you Dave! We just need to lower the price a bit to like $199 to $250 a month for the 15mg so it's comparable to the compounded prices. Hopefully this forces the current compounding telehealth companies to lower their prices!

Thank you for this info and for all you do to advocate for us! I'm so happy about this, since I recently switched to LillyDirect and wasn't sure what I was going to do when I reached the higher doses.

What wonderful, fantastic news!! Your hardwork and many voices got us to this point!

I hope they won't adhere to the 'you must order every 6 weeks or we'll raise the price' rule.

That could lead to a new way of how people get the medication. I'll buy one every six weeks and, welll, you know, I have lots of friends......

Now we Just Need the prices lowered for all the GLP-1 Medications like all the other countries get to pay to have the same Medications, they pay Nothing compared to what we in America are having to pay. We are still paying WAY TO DANG MUCH FOR THESE MEDICATIONS. Thank God we are getting the 12.5 and the 15mg vials Now. Thanks Dave for all you do for all of us.
