Check your coverage for Norditropin^®

Once therapy is recommended by your health care provider, the office can verify if you are covered for Novo Nordisk's treatment—in less than 4 hours. Once your information is submitted, NovoCare^® will provide treatment coverage confirmation, as well as any deductible, copay, and/or coinsurance assistance that may apply. If no coverage is available for the therapy you were prescribed, NovoCare^® may supply the names of other therapies that are covered.

The insurance process, simplified

How it works

NovoCare^® can help you navigate the insurance process by:

Working with your insurance company to learn if the prescribed drug is covered
Sharing Prior Authorization forms and submission process information with the health care provider
Following up to find out whether or not coverage was provided

NovoCare^® also assists with next steps—depending on the outcome.

If approved

If insurance coverage is approved, NovoCare^® will:

Coordinate relevant information between the health care provider and a specialty pharmacy that carries the prescribed growth hormone (GH) therapy
Determine if the patient is eligible to save money on prescriptions through the NovoCare^® Savings Offer

If denied

If insurance coverage is denied, NovoCare^® will:

Provide eligible families with information about the multi-step appeal process^a
Determine whether the patient is eligible to enroll in the Patient Assistance Program for their medicine

^aAppeal support is available for patients prescribed a Novo Nordisk product for a diagnosis that is an FDA-approved indication.
