Without adequate insurance coverage, Trulicity expenses can be overwhelming for patients managing type 2 diabetes. Through manufacturer Patient Assistance Programs, eligible patients may pay a low, fixed monthly fee. The Rx Advocates handle the entire process so you can stay on treatment without financial stress.
What is the Trulicity Patient Assistance Program?
Trulicity’s Patient Assistance Program is administered by the medication’s manufacturer to help qualifying individuals obtain their prescriptions affordably. While discount cards and coupons deliver temporary cost reductions, PAPs provide steady, continuous financial assistance for patients who depend on ongoing diabetes management. The Rx Advocates support patients by handling application requirements, verifying program qualifications, and maintaining enrollment in the Trulicity PAP.
Eligibility Requirements
Accessing patient assistance program benefits requires meeting certain income and residency standards. Program rules exist to assist individuals experiencing economic difficulties and ensure critical medications remain within reach for everyone who needs them.
Typical eligibility 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
Note: guidelines differ across programs. Our team is ready to review your circumstances and guide you through application procedures.

Why PAPs Are Better Than Coupons
Coupons and discount cards might offer short-term Trulicity savings, but these methods come with substantial limitations that weaken their dependability for long-term medication needs. Patient Assistance Programs sponsored by manufacturers provide reliable, sustained financial relief and consistent prescription access.
Disadvantages of coupons
- Restrictions: Generally valid only at particular pharmacies or within set timeframes
- Copay Accumulators: May stop coupons from counting toward your insurance out-of-pocket limits or deductible
- Expiration Dates: Coupons have expiration dates and need frequent renewal
- Limited Coverage: Even with coupons, many patients still face high out-of-pocket costs
Advantages of PAP through The Rx Advocates
- Fixed Monthly Cost: Consistent fees regardless of changing retail prices
- No Expiration: Ongoing access for the duration of your eligibility
- Direct From Manufacturer: Reliable medication supply delivered from the source each month
- Broad Support: Coverage includes over 800 FDA-approved medications

About Trulicity
Trulicity (dulaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication. It is primarily prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes to improve blood sugar control when combined with diet and exercise.
Mechanism of action: Trulicity works by mimicking natural GLP-1 hormone activity, which increases insulin release when blood sugar is high, decreases glucose production by the liver, and slows stomach emptying to reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Additional uses: Trulicity is also prescribed to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death) in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors.
Form & administration: Administered by the patient as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled pen. Available in 0.75 mg, 1.5 mg, 3.0 mg, and 4.5 mg doses. Should be injected on the same day each week, with or without meals.
Side effects:
- Common: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, decreased appetite.
- Serious: pancreatitis, kidney problems, severe gastrointestinal disease, diabetic retinopathy complications, hypoglycemia (when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas).
- Warning: thyroid tumors in animal studies; contraindicated in patients with personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2; not for use in type 1 diabetes.
