Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions 

Medicines are incredibly expensive to research and develop in general. It can take billions of dollars to bring a single safe and effective medicine to market.

Your insurance situation also factors into the price you pay for medicine. Novo Nordisk has teams of people negotiating with insurers to ensure better coverage for our products. Ultimately, though, it’s up to the insurer to decide whether to cover a product and the level of coverage. Additionally, your insurance provider will determine whether you pay a flat fee, called a “copay,” or a percentage of the total cost, called “coinsurance."

To find out if your insurance covers your medicine, make a selection below.
