Your Clients’ Insulin May No Longer Be on Their Formulary

[Russ]

Got this email from Senior Marker Sales...

""""In a surprising trend this AEP, several Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans have stopped covering the four most-common, fast-acting and long-acting insulins on the market — NovoLog, Humalog, Levemir and Lantus. Affected clients who don’t read their Annual Notice of Coverage (ANOC) letters or review their plans could see their combined drug and premium costs skyrocket by thousands of dollars.""""....

I've started receiving calls from PDP policyholders in this situation. I'm glad I've only got around 200 on PDP's. Can't imagine dealing with several hundred or more.

Levemir has been discontinued

I see Lantus, Novolog and Humalog covered by UHC

Humana also covers Novolog AND Humalog

Looks like an increase in coverage to me at least with those 2 carriers

just had a convo with a guy who had novolog, his PDP was with WellCare, his total Rx costs was going to be $11,000+ for the year. Most of which was the novolog

And a few other blood regulators

Be careful out there.
