Trulicity is a once-weekly injection that\u2019s approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to control blood sugar in people 10 and older with Type 2 diabetes and to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure in adults with both Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Health insurance plans typically cover Trulicity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does-blue-cross-blue-shield-cover-trulicity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover Trulicity?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although prescription drug coverage varies by plan, Trulicity is covered by most Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plans, regardless of whether they\u2019re employer-sponsored or part of Medicare or Medicaid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some plans may require <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/prior-authorization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prior authorization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before they cover expensive medications like Trulicity. If your plan requires prior authorization, your healthcare provider will send some information to the insurance company to explain why you need Trulicity. There\u2019s a chance your prescription will be denied if you don\u2019t meet the requirements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myobesityteam.com\/writers\/682653ee1552ca622a3ea54b\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennifer Brown<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a physician who\u2019s board-certified in obesity medicine and family medicine, it\u2019s unusual for BCBS to require prior authorization for Trulicity. \u201cIn my experience, it\u2019s rarely required. Since Trulicity is a very effective treatment for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/type-1-vs-type-2-diabetes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, insurance companies typically cover the cost without question.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, with the rising interest in using GLP-1s off-label for weight loss, new prior authorization requirements may be Blue Cross Blue Shield\u2019s way of addressing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcarolinablues.com\/web\/public\/brands\/sc\/providers\/news-and-events\/current-news\/2025-news\/reminder-glp1-utilization-management\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drug shortages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and keeping overall costs low. If your prior authorization is denied, you or your healthcare provider can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/insurance-appeal-letter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">appeal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health plans may insist on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/step-therapy\/#\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step therapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, meaning that a less expensive treatment option must be tried before Trulicity will be covered. BCBS may also impose quantity limits on Trulicity. Typically, you can only get a month\u2019s supply at a time. This may be another effort to curb drug shortages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-is-trulicity-without-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much is Trulicity without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/trulicity-without-insurance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without insurance, Trulicity costs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> around $1,408 for 4, 0.5 mL of 1.5 mg\/0.5 mL pens. This is about the same price as other brand-name GLP-1 receptor agonists like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/ozempic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ozempic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (semaglutide), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/victoza\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Victoza<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (liraglutide), and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/mounjaro\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mounjaro<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (tirzepatide). Drug prices fluctuate and vary by pharmacy and location.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-trulicity-cost-with-bcbs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Trulicity cost with BCBS?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of Trulicity with BCBS depends on the cost-sharing structure of your specific health plan. Prescription medications are assigned a tier number, and you typically pay a different copay or coinsurance for each tier. Trulicity is usually listed as a tier 2 or tier 3 drug in BCBS <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/what-is-a-formulary\/#\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">formularies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The higher the tier, the higher the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/healthcare-defined-copay\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">copay.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few examples. Let\u2019s say you have the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbc.anthem.com\/dps\/CCD6YZ2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Silver Pathway HMO 3500<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan, which covers Trulicity as a tier 2 drug. The front of your insurance card says you pay 10% coinsurance for tier 2 drugs. So, your out-of-pocket costs would be about $140 for 4, 0.5 mL of 1.5 mg\/0.5 mL Trulicity pens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecrossnc.com\/content\/dam\/bcbsnc\/pdf\/members\/medicare\/prescription-drug-resources\/formulary-guides\/blue-medicare-essential-plus-25.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blue Medicare Essential Plus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan out of North Carolina, your formulary classifies Trulicity as a Tier 3 drug. According to your plan documents, you have a $45 copay for a 30-day supply of a Tier 3 drug, so you\u2019d pay $45 every month for Trulicity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, people with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbc.anthem.com\/dps\/CCD6YYG\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Bronze Pathway HMO 9200<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pay 0% coinsurance for all drug tiers, so they would get Trulicity at no additional cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note that these rates are only available if you buy Trulicity at an in-network pharmacy. If you go to a pharmacy that isn\u2019t in BCBS\u2019s network, you\u2019re expected to pay either a higher copay or Trulicity\u2019s full retail price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-check-whether-your-bcbs-plan-covers-trulicity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to check whether your BCBS plan covers Trulicity\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find out if your BCBS plan covers Trulicity, call the customer care number on your insurance card. A BCBS representative can answer your coverage questions and tell you how much you\u2019d have to pay out-of-pocket when collecting your prescription.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also log in to your BCBS account portal and view your plan\u2019s documents. First, look for the drug list or formulary. Some BCBS affiliates offer a searchable drug list, while others provide a downloadable PDF.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The formulary will list which tier Trulicity falls under. Once you have that information, find your Summary of Benefits document or look at the front of your insurance card to learn how much you owe according to Trulicity\u2019s drug tier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-save-on-trulicity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to save on Trulicity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your BCBS health insurance plan doesn\u2019t cover Trulicity, you don\u2019t have to pay the full retail price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare prescription discount card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> could save you around $600 on a month\u2019s supply of Trulicity, or about 45%.
