Here is the Humalog cost comparison chart.
Please note: The Prescription Hope service fee of $50 a month for Humalog does not change, even if your healthcare provider increases your dose.
There are four main ways to save money on out-of-pocket costs when it comes to prescription medication.
Now that we have given you the four main medication savings programs, there are a few hurdles to go over in each of those areas. We will be quick about this…
When you join a health insurance program, you will have high deductibles, copays, and things of that nature.
When you have prescription drug discount cards, the discounts are uneven all across the board.
Coupons sponsored directly from the pharmaceutical manufacturer specifically for brand-name medications are excellent in the short run. For the long term, there is a lot of money still left out of your pocket…
Last are the pharmaceutical manufacturer’s patient assistance programs that give away FREE medication to individuals who qualify, which provides unmatched medication savings for the long term.
Qualifying for Humalog patient assistance programs is based on household income guidelines. Every patient assistance program uses different criteria for qualification, so we use the information below as general guidelines:
Prescription Hope suggests that anyone looking to save money on Humalog submit an enrollment form.
Suppose you do not qualify to receive Humalog through patient assistance programs. In that case, we will never charge a service fee for that medication.
Soon after submitting an enrollment form, we will determine whether you qualify to receive the medications you have requested for FREE through patient assistance programs.
Suppose we find a program that will work for you. In that case, we will reach out to you for any additional information needed and reach out to your healthcare provider for the prescription.
Once we receive this information back, we immediately order your medication for you. After that, Prescription Hope works to manage medication orders, refill medications on time throughout the year, maintain up-to-date records, and renew your prescription medication’s enrollment every year.
Once your enrollment form is submitted and you are pre-qualified, the first shipment of prescription medication typically arrives within four to six weeks. We will then place refills ahead of time so that you receive your medication on a regular schedule.
During the four to six week enrollment period, we recommend that you ask your healthcare provider if they could provide you with Humalog samples while waiting for your first shipment.
Through our program, Americans save thousands every year from the retail cost of their prescription medications through Prescription Hope. To learn more about how Prescription Hope works, you can visit our website.

Humalog (insulin lispro) injection is FDA-approved fast-acting insulin, sometimes called mealtime insulin, only available to individuals with a prescription.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas and controls blood sugar levels by helping the body use and store its sugar from the food we eat. In patients with diabetes, there is either not enough insulin getting produced, or the cells are not responding well enough to insulin to control blood sugar levels.
Humalog (insulin lispro) starts working faster and for a shorter period than regular human insulin. It is used to treat people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes for controlling hyperglycemia.
The safety and effectiveness of Humalog for children with type 2 diabetes or children younger than 3 years of age with type 1 diabetes are not yet determined. There are no complete clinical studies for children in these groups.
This insulin is often used along with long-acting insulin, such as Lantus or Basaglar, or oral diabetes medications.
Never reuse or share your insulin needles with other people. This includes the single-patient use pen (KwikPen), cartridges, needles, and syringes. Doing so can put you and the other person at an increased risk of infection.
Do not use a syringe to remove insulin from the prefilled pen.
Never change your dose of Humalog or the type of insulin you use. Doing so can cause severe high or low blood sugar levels. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can be serious and life-threatening. Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include:
Store your unused Humalog vials and pens in the refrigerator between 36- and 46-degrees Fahrenheit. Never let your insulin freeze, and do not use it if it gets frozen. Unopened Humalog can be used up until the expiration date printed on the label.
Humalog that you are currently using can be stored at room temperature (up to 86℉ degrees) for up to 28 days. Try to keep your insulin away from heat and light.
Humalog can come in the form of either a vial or a prefilled pen. An instructional insert comes with each form of insulin. Read the complete instruction guide to know how to prepare and inject each dose and dispose of needles and pens correctly.
Patients must continue to check their blood sugar and use Humalog exactly as their healthcare provider has prescribed it.
This type of insulin can either be used in an insulin pump or for multiple daily injections. Your healthcare provider will provide you with advice specific to your method of using Humalog.
Humalog should get injected under the skin around the stomach, buttocks, upper legs, or upper arms. Be sure to rotate injection sites with each dose.
Your specific Humalog dose will vary from other individuals. The dose gets based upon your specific needs and condition. Your healthcare provider will prescribe a dose for you to take and make adjustments to that dose as needed.
If you are new to using insulin lispro or are switching from a different type of mealtime insulin, then closely monitor your blood sugar level. Checking your blood sugar often or using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) will help your healthcare provider make appropriate adjustments to your insulin dosage.
Never mix or dilute this medicine with any other insulin or solution.
Patients with type 1 diabetes must either use this insulin in an insulin pump or with long-acting insulin. Talk to your healthcare provider about your options.

Humalog may cause serious side effects, which can include:
The most common side effects of Humalog may include:
Report side effects to your healthcare provider, especially if you have persistent adverse reactions.
It is always recommended that you keep extra insulin supplies with you if there is a problem with your insulin pump or injection device.
Avoid mixing insulin lispro with any other type of insulin or solution. Always make sure the insulin is clear and colorless and does not have any particles floating in it.
Avoid driving or operating machinery if you have extremely high or low blood sugar levels. You may experience blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness, making it dangerous. Wait until you know you can perform the activity safely and effectively.
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication, as it may increase your risk of having hypoglycemia.
Taking other glucose-lowering medications, salicylates, sulfonamide antibiotics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, fluoxetine, pramlintide, disopyramide, fibrates, propoxyphene, pentoxifylline, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocking agents, and somatostatin analogs can increase your risk of having a hypoglycemic event with Humalog.
Humalog’s glucose-lowering effect can be impacted if co-administered with corticosteroids, isoniazid, niacin, estrogens, oral contraceptives, phenothiazines, danazol, diuretics, sympathomimetic agents, somatropin, atypical antipsychotics, glucagon, protease inhibitors, and thyroid hormones.
The overall effectiveness of Humalog can be impacted if taken with beta-blockers, clonidine, lithium salts, and alcohol.
It is important to note that other drugs may mask hypoglycemia. Medicines such as beta-blockers, clonidine, guanethidine, and reserpine can make you unaware of a hypoglycemic event.
Talk to your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, or herbal supplements. You may need your Humalog dosage adjusted depending on what other medicines you are taking.
The following are contraindicated with Humalog:
Are you looking for a place to get your Humalog (insulin lispro) medication at an affordable price?
A Humalog generic is currently available in the United States under the name insulin lispro. However, the generic form is still produced by the same manufacturer (Lilly), and the price remains too high for many patients. Therefore, Prescription Hope remains a viable option for many patients despite the generic availability of Humalog.
The retail price of Humalog without insurance is $311 for a 5-pack of 3 mL KwikPens and $167 for a vial of 1,000 units (U-100 10mL). Qualifying patients may be able to get their Humalog insulin for the set service fee of $50 a month through Prescription Hope, with or without insurance.
