Under the proposal, called the “Minnesota Insulin Patient Assistance Program,” diabetics could get a refillable 120-day supply of insulin for free if they are not already on a public healthcare assistance program and if their income falls below a certain threshold.
This would include single patients who make about $50,000 or less annually and families of four who make under $100,000 a year.
Patients would apply for eligibility through an online portal and take paperwork to their physicians, who would prescribe the 120-day insulin supply. The patients deemed eligible could receive free insulin for a year before they would need to reapply.
