Frequently Asked Questions

What is GetInsulin.org, and how does it work?

GetInsulin.org connects people with diabetes in the United States to the insulin access and affordability options that match their unique circumstances. On GetInsulin.org, users answer a few questions (such as location, insurance type, income, and prescription) then receive a customized action plan to guide them to solutions that best serve their unique circumstances.

GetInsulin.org is designed to help individuals navigate the patchwork of affordability and access solutions that exist in the United States. It is not a direct assistance program, and GetInsulin.org, Beyond Type 1, and other organizational partners do not manage the programs that are included in the Action Plans generated by GetInsulin.org.

Who does GetInsulin.org serve?

The solutions available through GetInsulin.org are available to people in the United States, including those who are not US citizens. The site and plan details are available in English and Spanish.

How can I find out which options are best for me?

From the homepage of GetInsulin.org, click on BUILD YOUR INSULIN ACTION PLAN, or click HERE. Input information about your unique circumstances to receive your action plan. The action plan will outline your specific next steps to get connected to insulin that may be at a lower (or free) price point.

What should I do if I am in urgent need of insulin?

From the homepage of GetInsulin.org, click on GET URGENT INSULIN SUPPORT, or click HERE. Action Plans are designed to provide longer-term support, but if you have less than 7 days of insulin available, please follow the instructions under “urgent”.

My Action Plan isn’t working for me. What should I do?

If you are having a technical problem with GetInsulin.org, please reach out to us at help@getinsulin.org so our team can assist. If you are having trouble navigating a specific patient assistance program that was listed in your Action Plan, seek help from the program provider directly.

About Getinsulin.org

GetInsulin.org is a resource for those struggling to access insulin today. Since 2013, the list price of insulin has skyrocketed, leaving some without health insurance or on high-deductible insurance plans paying out-of-pocket upwards of $1,000 for a one-month supply of insulin, often unaware of assistance options. This is the result of a unique drug pricing crisis going on in the United States that will require widespread healthcare reform to bring list prices down. In the immediate term, people in the US need to know what their options are to access insulin.

GetInsulin.org is a program of Beyond Type 1, an organization that advocates for high quality, modern insulin to be available to people with diabetes regardless of employment or insurance status, across all demographics, without barriers, and at an affordable and predictable price point. Until that is achieved, GetInsulin.org is a tool for those needing access to insulin options immediately.
