The program will cover up to $100 per insulin prescription for those in need, including refills. This financial assistance is available to San Antonio and Bexar County residents, regardless of their insurance status, and will continue until funds run out.
Eligible residents can visit any of the 19 participating H-E-B pharmacies to drop off or send in their prescriptions. Free delivery is also available within a 15-mile radius of these locations.
To enroll in the program, people must fill out a consent form at the pharmacy or online at SA.gov/Health (location information here). While participation in the city’s free diabetes self-management workshops is encouraged, it’s not required to receive financial assistance.
