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 processa
  • 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.
