Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
It's $192 for 30 days and mom's Dr insists on mom having it. We pay as mom's private insurance doesn't cover it. Mom will not qualify for Medicare/Medicaid as she has not lived long enough here.
Go to their website. Many drug manufacturers have a coupon you can give your pharmacy to reduce the cost My husband was on Pradaxa and our copay was $202 a month. The drug company had a coupon that reduced the cost to $5 month.
Metformin is comparatively inexpensive and is a pill. Not sure how it compares to insulin. If your mom has kidney problems then they would probably recommend insulin. I think Januvia is still under patent, so the price is high.
Found this to save some money. https://www.januvia.com/sitagliptin/how-does-januvia-work/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Januvia_2021+Branded+Priority+1_BRND_Core_BRND_EXCT_TEXT_NA&utm_term=januvia&utm_content=Brand+Name&utm_kxconfid=sgaivj8q4&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_8mHBhClARIsABfFgphsC3RrCyL1ONo-130CXiln_2fGOflXjKVLqQHzVZfn5BefDr4FigsaAsoAEALw_wcB
Look up "GoodRx" Its a free prescription card that may help with the cost.
Are you getting the generic name Generic Name: sitagliptin
It may be that Moms prescription plan pays for generic but not name brand. Check it out.
Keep in mind that her doctor may have a financial interest in promoting the brand name drug. It is NOT illegal for a doctor to get money promoting a drug! That said, she can absolutely request that the doctor change the prescription to the generic.
Doctors often prescribe drugs without thinking about whether or not their patients can afford the medication.
You don't give your mother's age. Also, you don't say how much your mother weighs or whether or not she's active. Lower weight and regular exercise/walking can help reduce her A1c.
Insulin is much cheaper, and Walmart has special pricing for insulin even for those without insurance. It's about controlling her diabetes in a way that she can afford.
Mom is 85, not much active and she's 100 lbs. She will walk up & down the house and around the deck. She doesn't eat much and I don't what to take away the small amount of white rice she has (us Indians love our white rice:-))
I think I will fight the Dr and get lower-priced medication.
