Humalog Monthly Cost With Savings Card
$35/month
Vials, KwikPen, Junior KwikPen & 75/25
Humalog (insulin lispro) used to be one of the more expensive insulins on the market, but that changed substantially after Eli Lilly cut its list price and rolled out broader savings programs. Today, most patients — insured or not — have a path to paying no more than $35 a month.
The tricky part is that the "Humalog Savings Card" patients remember from a few years ago has since been folded into a larger program covering several Lilly insulins at once. That means the enrollment process, the card you need, and the phone number to call all depend on your insurance status and which Humalog product you're prescribed.
This guide breaks down exactly which card applies to you, how to enroll, and what backup options exist if you don't qualify for the standard copay cap.

What the Humalog Savings Card Actually Is Today
Eli Lilly rebranded its insulin copay assistance as the Lilly Insulin Value Program (LIVP). It replaced the older, product-specific "Humalog Savings Card" name, but functions the same way: eligible patients pay no more than $35 for a one-month supply, regardless of their insurance situation, as described on Lilly's official Insulin Value Program page.
Is There a Humalog Coupon?
There is no separate manufacturer "coupon" for Humalog. Eli Lilly does not issue traditional printable coupons. Instead, the Lilly Insulin Value Program functions as a Humalog coupon at the pharmacy — it automatically reduces your out-of-pocket cost to $35 or less per month. If you see third-party sites advertising a "Humalog coupon," they are almost always referring to this same manufacturer program or to pharmacy discount cards that cannot be stacked with the Lilly card.
For patients prescribed Humalog 75/25 or the Humalog KwikPen, the same $35 cap applies — there is no separate coupon or card for specific formulations.
Bottom line: When patients search for a "Humalog coupon," what they actually need is the Lilly Insulin Value Program savings card. The card works like a coupon at checkout, but it's manufacturer-backed and usually beats third-party discount codes.
| Program Detail | Commercially Insured | Uninsured / Cash-Paying |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost cap | $35 per insulin, per fill | $35 per insulin, per fill |
| Fills allowed per year | Up to 16 per calendar year, per insulin | Up to 14 per calendar year, per insulin |
| Maximum annual savings | Up to $16,000 per insulin | WAC + pharmacy charges per fill |
| Insulins covered | Humalog, Humalog Junior KwikPen, Humalog U-200 KwikPen, Humalog Mix 50/50, Humalog Mix 75/25, insulin lispro (generic), Lyumjev, Humulin, Basaglar, Rezvoglar | |
| How to access | Usually automatic at participating pharmacies | Download card at insulinaffordability.com or call 833-808-1234 |
| Card expiration | December 31, 2026 | |
Note on naming: If a pharmacist, coupon site, or old paperwork refers to a "Humalog Savings Card," they're almost always describing this same Insulin Value Program — not a separate, discontinued benefit.
Does It Cover the Humalog KwikPen?
Yes. The $35 cap applies whether you're prescribed a traditional Humalog vial, the standard Humalog KwikPen, or the Humalog Junior KwikPen (used for more precise, lower-unit dosing). All three are manufactured by Lilly and fall under the same program terms.
The Humalog KwikPen savings card is the same Lilly Insulin Value Program card — there is no separate enrollment or different card for the pen format versus the vial.
| Humalog Product | Covered by Savings Program? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Humalog Vial (10 mL) | Yes | Standard U-100 formulation |
| Humalog KwikPen | Yes | Prefilled pen, sold in 5-packs |
| Humalog Junior KwikPen | Yes | Half-unit dosing increments |
| Insulin Lispro (generic, authorized by Lilly) | Yes | Lower list price than brand Humalog |
Humalog U-200 KwikPen: 70% Price Cut in 2026
The Humalog U-200 KwikPen — a higher-concentration pen containing 200 units/mL instead of the standard 100 units/mL — received a 70% wholesale price reduction effective February 1, 2026. This makes it the cheapest Humalog formulation by list price, though the $35/month savings cap still applies regardless of which formulation you use.
- Who it's for: Patients who need higher insulin doses and want fewer injections
- Price: List price dropped 70% in Feb 2026; with savings card = $35/month
- Coverage: Included in the Lilly Insulin Value Program (same $35 cap)
- Availability: Not all pharmacies stock U-200; call ahead
Important: You cannot substitute U-200 for U-100 without your doctor's approval. The dosing is different. Do not switch formulations on your own.
Because the generic insulin lispro carries a lower list price than brand-name Humalog, some patients end up paying less even before the savings card is applied — worth asking your pharmacist about if your plan doesn't strongly prefer the brand name.
Who Qualifies for the $35 Cap
| Insurance Situation | Eligible? | Action Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial insurance (employer or marketplace) | Yes | Usually automatic — no enrollment required |
| Uninsured | Yes | Download separate card and present at pharmacy |
| Medicare Part D | Different program applies | Insulin copay cap is set by Medicare rules, not this card |
| Medicaid | Not eligible for this card | State Medicaid formulary rules apply instead |
| TRICARE | Not eligible | Excluded under program terms |
Medicare patients: You don't use the commercial Insulin Value Program card. Under current federal rules, out-of-pocket insulin costs are separately capped for Medicare Part D enrollees — check with your plan directly rather than trying to enroll in the commercial card.
Step-by-Step: How to Enroll
Check your insurance status first
Commercially insured patients typically don't need to do anything — confirm with your pharmacist that the cap applied at checkout.
Uninsured? Get your card
Visit insulinaffordability.com or call 1-833-808-1234 to download or request your Insulin Value Program card.
Bring your card and prescription to the pharmacy
Present the card alongside your prescription at any participating pharmacy.
Confirm the price before you pay
Ask the pharmacist to confirm your out-of-pocket cost reflects the $35 cap before completing the transaction.
Reapply annually if required
Programs are periodically renewed with new terms and expiration dates, so re-verify eligibility once a year.

Humalog List Price vs. Out-of-Pocket Cost
It helps to separate the sticker price from what you'll actually pay. Lilly cut Humalog's list price substantially in 2023, and generic insulin lispro is priced even lower — but list price and out-of-pocket cost are two different numbers once the savings card or insurance is applied.
| Product | 2026 List Price | With Lilly Insulin Value Program |
|---|---|---|
| Humalog U-100 Vial (10 mL) | ~$66.40 | $35/month |
| Humalog U-100 KwikPen (5-pack) | ~$159.12 | $35/month |
| Humalog U-200 KwikPen (2-pack) | ~70% lower after Feb 2026 price cut | $35/month |
| Humalog Junior KwikPen | ~$159.12 (5-pack equivalent) | $35/month |
| Insulin Lispro (generic, 10 mL) | ~$25 | Often under $35 without card |
| Humalog Mix 75/25 KwikPen | ~$159.12 | $35/month |
🆕 February 2026 price cut: Lilly reduced the wholesale price of Humalog U-200 KwikPen by 70%, making it significantly cheaper even before the savings card is applied. The $35 cap still applies, but your pharmacy's cash price may already be lower than other Humalog formulations.
Tip: You generally can't combine a pharmacy discount coupon (like GoodRx) with the Lilly Insulin Value Program on the same fill. Compare both prices at your specific pharmacy and use whichever is lower.
If You Don't Qualify: Free Insulin Options
Patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or fall under certain income thresholds may qualify for completely free Humalog through the Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program, a separate benefit from the copay card.
| Requirement | Typical Criteria |
|---|---|
| Insurance status | Uninsured or underinsured |
| Income limit | Generally at or below 400% of the Federal Poverty Level |
| Residency | Must reside in the US, DC, Puerto Rico, or the USVI |
| Application | Doctor may need to complete a short enrollment form |
You can apply directly at LillyCares.com or by calling 1-800-545-6962. Details on eligibility and required documentation are also summarized on independent pricing resources like Drugs.com's Humalog pricing and assistance page.

TrumpRx: New $25/Month Alternative for Uninsured Patients (2026)
In February 2026, the TrumpRx platform launched as a channel-discovery tool for discounted medications. For Lilly insulin products, TrumpRx currently lists:
- Insulin lispro (generic Humalog) — $25 for a single 10 mL vial
- 2–4 vials of insulin lispro — $35 total
TrumpRx partners with Amazon Pharmacy, GoodRx, and Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs to fulfill orders. Unlike the Lilly Insulin Value Program, TrumpRx has no income requirements and no enrollment paperwork — it's a straightforward cash-price discount.
| Feature | Lilly Insulin Value Program | TrumpRx |
|---|---|---|
| Humalog cost | $35/month | $25/vial (generic insulin lispro) |
| Requires enrollment | Yes — download card or verify at pharmacy | No — search and buy directly |
| Income requirements | None | None |
| Insurance restrictions | Not for Medicare/Medicaid/TRICARE | None |
| Best for | Patients who want brand-name Humalog | Uninsured patients who want the lowest cash price |
Bottom line: If you're uninsured and your doctor approves the generic version, TrumpRx insulin lispro at $25/vial is cheaper than the Lilly $35 cap. If you specifically need brand-name Humalog or the KwikPen format, stick with the Lilly Insulin Value Program.
Common Mistakes That Cost Patients Money
- □ Assuming the "Humalog Savings Card" no longer exists because it's now called the Insulin Value Program.
- □ Trying to stack a GoodRx coupon with the Lilly savings card on the same transaction.
- □ Not asking the pharmacist to confirm the $35 cap was applied before paying.
- □ Enrolling in the commercial card while on Medicare, when a different cap already applies.
- □ Not re-checking eligibility or card expiration dates each year.
- □ Overlooking generic insulin lispro, which may already cost less than $35 without any card.
Bottom Line
Most Humalog patients today have a real path to a $35-a-month price, whether through automatic application of the Lilly Insulin Value Program at the pharmacy counter, a separately downloaded card for the uninsured, or free insulin through Lilly Cares for those who qualify by income. The names have changed over the years, but the core benefit — a hard monthly cap — has stayed consistent.
If your pharmacy quotes you a price above $35 for a one-month Humalog KwikPen or vial fill, ask directly whether the current savings program was applied before you pay.
Frequently Asked Questions
It's Eli Lilly's manufacturer copay assistance program, now called the Lilly Insulin Value Program, which caps out-of-pocket costs for Humalog and other Lilly insulins at $35 per month for eligible patients.
Eli Lilly does not issue a traditional printable "coupon" for Humalog. Instead, the Lilly Insulin Value Program acts as a manufacturer copay card that functions like a coupon at the pharmacy — it caps your out-of-pocket cost at $35 per month. If you see third-party sites advertising a "Humalog coupon," they are usually referring to this same program or to pharmacy discount cards that cannot be combined with the Lilly card.
Yes. The program covers Humalog vials, Humalog KwikPens, and Humalog Junior KwikPens, along with other Lilly-manufactured insulins like Lyumjev, Humulin, and Basaglar.
Most patients with commercial insurance qualify automatically, while uninsured patients can download a separate card to access the same $35 monthly cap. Patients on Medicare or Medicaid generally use different programs instead.
Yes. The Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program provides free insulin to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients who meet income requirements.
No. Medicare and Medicaid patients are not eligible for the commercial Insulin Value Program card and instead rely on the insulin cost caps built into their own plans.
Yes. The Lilly Insulin Value Program covers Humalog 75/25 (insulin lispro protamine and insulin lispro injectable suspension) under the same $35/month cap as standard Humalog. There is no separate coupon for the 75/25 formulation — the same savings card or automatic pharmacy cap applies.
Eligible patients pay $35 or less per month for a one-month supply of Humalog, Humalog KwikPen, Humalog Junior KwikPen, or Humalog 75/25 when the Lilly Insulin Value Program is applied. Uninsured patients must download a separate card; commercially insured patients usually see the cap applied automatically.
There is no separate manufacturer coupon exclusively for the KwikPen. The Humalog KwikPen savings card is the same Lilly Insulin Value Program that covers vials and the Junior KwikPen — all three formats are capped at $35/month for eligible patients.
The Lilly Insulin Value Program is accepted at most major pharmacies including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, and independent pharmacies. If your pharmacist is unfamiliar with the program, ask them to process it as a manufacturer copay card for insulin lispro.
Generally no. Pharmacies typically apply one discount or coupon per transaction, so compare both prices and use whichever is lower.
No. Inside Rx discounts are explicitly void if you also use the Lilly Insulin Value Program. The Inside Rx terms state: "This offer is not valid with any other program, discount, incentive, or similar offer involving Humalog." You must choose one or the other. For most patients, the Lilly $35 cap beats Inside Rx pricing.
Yes. Lilly periodically renews and republishes program terms with a new expiration date, so patients should reverify current terms each year rather than assume a past enrollment still applies.
Eligible patients pay $35 or less per month for a one-month supply of Humalog, Humalog KwikPen, or Humalog Junior KwikPen when the Lilly Insulin Value Program is applied. This is a hard cap — even if your insurance copay would normally be higher, the manufacturer card covers the difference down to $35.
Commercially insured patients can use the program for up to 16 prescription fills per calendar year per insulin, while uninsured or cash-paying patients are generally limited to 14 fills per calendar year per insulin.
