Diabetes Insulin Assistance Program

The Diabetes Insulin Assistance Program initiative aims to support individuals who struggle with the cost of diabetes insulin prescriptions and raise awareness about the no-cost diabetes self-management workshops offered by the City’s Metropolitan Health District (Metro Health).

The Diabetes Insulin Assistance Program is designed for those who need assistance paying for insulin prescriptions. The program will cover up to $100 for each insulin prescription, including refills, until allocated program funds are exhausted.

Program Details:

• Eligibility:
• Open to anyone living in San Antonio/Bexar County and having difficulty affording insulin, with or without health insurance.
• Coverage: Up to $100 per insulin prescription, including refills.
• Participating Pharmacies: The program will involve 19 area H-E-B pharmacy locations. Individuals can send or drop off their prescriptions in person at participating locations.
• Enrollment Process: Individuals must complete a consent form at the participating H-E-B pharmacy or SA.gov/Health. This form will allow Metro Health’s Diabetes Prevention and Control Program to contact them and provide information about educational workshops. Attending a workshop is free and is not required to receive assistance.
• Delivery: The program offers free insulin delivery within a 15-mile radius of participating H-E-B pharmacies.
