Insulin, part B, pump, and new rules

[kstein]

Anyone having trouble getting Novolog covered by Part B at a local Walgreens when on a pump with the new IRA rules and the $35 cap?

Walgreens keeps processing as a part D even though they claim they bill B.

Anyone having trouble getting Novolog covered by Part B at a local Walgreens when on a pump with the new IRA rules and the $35 cap?

Walgreens keeps processing as a part D even though they claim they bill B.

First, local pharmacies can't bill Part B except in very limited circumstances. So if they want it covered under Part B until 7/1, they need to be using Walgreens Alliance 855-244-2555

Second, this is a good time to remind everyone that Part B insulin will be $35 copay beginning 7/1/23 vs now, when its covered under Part B at 100% after the $226 deductible
