The $35 copayment for injectable insulin products goes into effect on January 1 and July 1 for insulin pump users. When insulin-using beneficiaries now check the plan finder, the price may be thousands of dollars per year rather than the maximum $420 allowed by law. Erroneous pricing might also skew the costs of other medications, which vary based on the patient’s coverage phase.
