Diabetes management requires daily vigilance, but medication costs can derail even the most careful treatment plans. When insulin expenses force impossible choices, blood sugar control suffers.
At The Rx Advocates, our team helps patients access manufacturer Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that reduce prescription costs to manageable monthly fees. We handle applications and coordination so you can concentrate on maintaining healthy glucose levels.
What is the Toujeo Patient Assistance Program?
Drug manufacturers fund patient assistance programs for people facing financial barriers to essential medications. The Toujeo program provides sustained insulin access instead of temporary discounts from coupons or savings cards that eventually run out.
Our team connects patients to these manufacturer-funded programs. We prepare applications in collaboration with you and your healthcare providers, then submit completed packages to the pharmaceutical companies running these programs. We stay in regular contact to monitor application progress through approval stages. Once enrolled, we coordinate prescription refills to ensure your insulin supply never lapses. We maintain partnerships with more than 100 pharmaceutical companies whose programs include over 800 FDA-approved medications.
Meeting income guidelines doesn’t guarantee program enrollment since manufacturers assess each application individually before making final approval decisions.
How to Qualify
Programs set income thresholds and residency requirements to identify who qualifies for assistance. Our team reviews your financial circumstances against these guidelines to determine eligibility.
Standard income requirements include:
- Individuals qualify if they earn up to $40,000 annually
- Couples qualify if they earn up to $60,000 annually
- Larger families qualify if they earn up to $100,000 annually
- U.S. residency and a valid prescription
Each pharmaceutical company establishes distinct criteria, so Toujeo program requirements may vary from those for other medications. Contact us and we’ll assess your specific circumstances against current standards.

The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce Toujeo Costs
Our advocacy service connects patients to manufacturer programs covering more than 800 FDA-approved medications. We’re not a coupon service, insurance provider, or pharmacy discount card.
We partner directly with you and your medical team to compile application materials, then forward them to pharmaceutical companies for review. We check in regularly to confirm applications reach their destination and advance through processing. After approval, we manage recurring refills to maintain consistent insulin availability.
Patients pay a one-time $35 enrollment fee, then monthly service fees based on how many prescriptions they receive. Once the manufacturer program approves you, your medications are provided at no additional charge. Your only expense is our monthly service fee, which remains fixed even when retail insulin prices increase.

Why PAPs Are Better Than Coupons
Insulin coupons offer short-term cost relief but carry restrictions that create problems for patients requiring lifelong diabetes treatment. Patient assistance programs eliminate the obstacles that make coupons insufficient for sustained medication access.
Disadvantages of coupons
- Restrictions: Valid only at specific pharmacies or during limited time periods
- Limited Savings: Often apply to certain quantities or refill counts, after which you pay full retail prices
- Expiration Dates: Time-limited validity requires continuous searches for new discount options
- Limited Coverage: Insurance copay accumulator programs may prevent coupon savings from counting toward your out-of-pocket maximum
Advantages of PAP through The Rx Advocates
- Fixed Monthly Cost: Predictable pricing based on medication count, regardless of retail market changes
- No Expiration: Ongoing program participation as long as eligibility criteria are met
- Direct From Manufacturer: Insulin supplied through pharmaceutical company distribution channels
- Broad Support: Connections to programs covering more than 800 FDA-approved medications across treatment categories
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find answers below to questions about Toujeo costs and manufacturer assistance programs.
With The Rx Advocates, patients pay a fixed monthly service fee, which depends on the number of medications covered.
- 1 Medication (Toujeo only) – $80 per month
- 2 Medications (Toujeo + 1 other) – $90 per month
- 3 Medications (Toujeo + 2 others) – $100 per month
- 4+ Medications – $110 per month
Importantly, there are no hidden fees, and prices remain consistent even if retail costs fluctuate.
Prices without assistance are high. Various factors influence insulin, including the following:
- Dosage: Prescribed units per day and administration frequency affect total monthly cost
- Location: State regulations, regional market conditions, and local economic factors create geographic price variations
- Pharmacy: Urban pharmacies often charge more due to higher operational costs, though increased competition sometimes lowers prices
- Insurance Coverage: Comprehensive plans typically reduce copays significantly, while patients without prescription coverage face full retail expenses
Programs typically require annual household income under $40,000 for individuals, $60,000 for couples, or $100,000 for larger families. Since each manufacturer creates unique eligibility standards, we review applications on a case-by-case basis. Reach out and we’ll determine whether your financial situation meets program criteria.
We handle the complete application process, including document preparation, healthcare provider coordination, and pharmaceutical company submission. Once you’re enrolled, we arrange automatic insulin shipments to prevent treatment gaps that could affect blood sugar control. Most patients either don’t know these programs exist or find the application requirements too overwhelming to complete alone. We solve both problems.
About Toujeo
Toujeo (insulin glargine) is a long-acting basal insulin analog. It is primarily prescribed for adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus requiring blood sugar control.
Mechanism of action: This concentrated insulin formulation mimics natural insulin to regulate glucose metabolism. Unlike regular insulin, Toujeo provides steady release over 24 hours, maintaining consistent blood sugar control while reducing hypoglycemia risk during fasting periods. The 300 units/mL concentration allows lower injection volumes compared to standard insulin preparations.
Additional uses: Sometimes prescribed off-label for diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious diabetes complication marked by elevated blood sugar and ketone presence.
Form & administration: Available as two prefilled pens for subcutaneous injection. Toujeo SoloStar (1.5 mL) contains 450 units, delivers 1-unit increments, and provides up to 80 units per injection. Toujeo Max SoloStar (3 mL) contains 900 units, delivers 2-unit increments, provides up to 160 units per injection, and is recommended for patients requiring at least 20 units daily. Dosages are individualized based on weight, insulin sensitivity, and glycemic control.
Side effects:
- Common: injection site reactions (swelling, redness), hypoglycemia, cold symptoms, respiratory infections, weight gain.
- Serious: severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, facial swelling), life-threatening hypoglycemia, severe hypokalemia (low potassium).
Warning: monitor blood sugar regularly; be aware of drug interactions with oral diabetes medications or corticosteroids; follow proper dosing instructions; seek emergency care for severe allergic reactions; not interchangeable unit-for-unit with other insulin products due to concentration differences.
