Summary
Out-of-Pocket Costs for SGLT-2 (SodiumGlucose Transport Protein-2) Inhibitors in the United States. SGLT-2 (sodium-glucose transport protein-2) inhibitors are indicated for millions of US individuals with heart disease, diabetes, or kidney dysfunction.[1,2] these medications have a high retail price, at over $500 per month ($16 per pill).[3] The high costs may contribute to physician inertia to prescribe therapy, impede early initiation, and decrease patient adherence.[3,4]. Of these individuals, 58.0% had private insurances, 9.9% had Medicare, 7.3% had Medicaid only, 4.4% had dual Medicare/Medicaid, 14.4% had Medicare with private supplemental insurance, 2.4% had other insurances, and 3.6% had no insurance.
