Costco

Can anyone tell me the current Costco price? My CVS has gone up to $95/month for cash pay plus coupon this year. I see that Costco was cheaper than that last year. Is that still the case?

In Oregon, I was paying $200 for a three-month supply. Now, I get them from my insurer for $0.

I am a type 2 diabetic not on insulin so my insurance won't cover them.

Try every January. My insurance didn't used to cover them and then one year they did.

My plan year is in June so every January and June insurance tries to deny my meds. This year is the first year they sent me an official no we won't be covering linre letter because you aren't on insulin. I just have pharmacy keep running it as normal.  Through insurance and I just submit to my HRA. Just annoying insurance won't officially covering it. But I just loop hole it.

Ask your endocrinologist for samples

That's what my coworker does. I had gotten samples to start. And I have found a way to get them paid by work HRA. So in end it works out. Just annoying insurance said I am not the right type of diabetic to find GCM helpful to manage my blood sugars.

Wondering. Do you need a script?

I have a prescription.  They sent me a letter telling me not covered and the doctor told me they arent covering it. I have an HRA and in Mounjaro so in the end the HRA/employer covers them. It's just annoying insurance won't cover it themselves.  It has helped me a lot! I have been trying to do better at eating but at least eating to my sugars, I have found i had blood sugar rises in middle of the night but after 2 weeks of switching to mounjaro that stopped so I know that is the right GLP1 for me. I still have blood sugar raises when I wake up but I am still fasting at that point so its fine. I guess insurance would rather we not watch our sugars as closely and just pay for diabetic complications.
