Integration allows people living with diabetes – with or without insurance – to access Sanofi’s most-prescribed insulin at a fixed rate anywhere GoodRx is accepted

GoodRx (NASDAQ: GDRX), a leading resource for healthcare savings and information, today announced it is working with Sanofi (NASDAQ: SNY), a global leader in diabetes care, to offer a new way for people living with diabetes to access Lantus® (insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL in the U.S. for only $35.

This collaboration builds on Sanofi’s recent announcement to lower the list price for Lantus and cap out-of-pocket costs at $35 for all patients with commercial insurance, which goes into effect January 1, 2024. It leverages GoodRx’s reach and scale to broaden access and affordability for people living with diabetes and means that, effective today, all Americans with a valid prescription, regardless of insurance status, can use GoodRx at over 70,000 U.S. retail pharmacies to access a 30-day supply of Lantus for only $35.

The number of Americans living with diabetes is increasing every year. Currently, an estimated 37.3 million Americans (approximately 11.3% of the U.S. population) have diabetes, and roughly 8.4 million of them use insulin, according to the American Diabetes Association.

“Efforts to make insulin more accessible have been at the forefront of the news for months, and a critical piece of delivering on this promise is making it as simple as possible for patients to get the lower price right at their regular pharmacy counter. Sanofi is taking action and providing Americans who need insulin with the ability to access Lantus in an easy and affordable way, regardless of insurance status. We’re proud to collaborate with them on this initiative,” said Dorothy Gemmell, Chief Commercial Officer at GoodRx.

Patients can visit GoodRx.com/lantus to access the $35 price coupon, which can be redeemed at any pharmacy that accepts GoodRx, including CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart. This complements other savings programs already offered by Sanofi, including offering Lantus for $35 per month to people without insurance. GoodRx also offers supportive resources to help consumers holistically manage their condition, including discounts on continuous glucose monitors and coupons for diabetes medications, as well as a Diabetes Hub that offers diabetes-specific articles and resources written by medical experts on GoodRx Health.

“Sanofi believes that no one should struggle to pay for their insulin,” said Olivier Bogillot, Head of U.S. General Medicines at Sanofi. “We are proud to collaborate with GoodRx to build on our existing suite of industry-leading savings programs to expand access and affordability pathways that can bring convenient and meaningful impact at the pharmacy counter.”

Through its Pharma Manufacturer Solutions offering, GoodRx has worked with 19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers¹ to deliver savings options directly to relevant patients. By surfacing important retail and specialty drug information, access solutions such as copay cards and patient savings programs, and unique programs where manufacturers can offer cash prices for their medications, GoodRx can help pharmaceutical manufacturers increase their reach to consumers who are looking for affordable ways to access the treatments they need.
