Reducing the burden of out of pocket costs

The first tenet is finding ways to lower out-of-pocket cost for patients with high-deductible health plans or with no insurance. We're committed to several approaches to helping patients, including:

Transforming the complex pricing system

The second tenet is working with all stakeholders to simplify and transform the healthcare system. The system we currently have is very complicated – rebates, discounts, administrative fees, co-pays and deductibles all play a role in what our customers, and people with diabetes, pay.

Creating more pricing predictability

The third tenet is limiting any potential future list price increases to no more than single-digit percentages annually. We recognize that customers like PBMs and payers have to effectively manage their healthcare budgets, including anticipating and planning for price increases; we want to support those efforts.
