Learn how to save money on Semglee in 2026 with coupons, discount cards, patient assistance programs, and insurance tips. Pay as little as $0–$35.
Insulin is a lifesaving medication, but the cost can be devastating — especially if you're uninsured, underinsured, or stuck with a high-deductible plan. The good news is that Semglee, as an interchangeable biosimilar to Lantus, was designed to be a more affordable option. And with the right programs and tools, you may be able to get it for as little as $0 to $35 per month.
In this guide, we'll break down exactly what Semglee costs in 2026, and walk you through every savings option available — from manufacturer coupons to patient assistance programs to discount cards.
Without any insurance or discounts, here's what you can expect to pay for Semglee:
These prices vary by pharmacy. Retail chains, independent pharmacies, and online pharmacies can all have different pricing. This is why shopping around — or using a tool like Medfinder — can make a real difference.
For context, Lantus (the brand-name version) has historically cost $300–$450+ per vial, making Semglee a significantly cheaper alternative even at full cash price.
Viatris, the maker of Semglee, offers a manufacturer savings card that can dramatically reduce your out-of-pocket cost:
This is one of the best deals available if you have commercial insurance. The savings card works at most major pharmacies and can be used alongside your insurance copay.
If you don't have insurance — or if the manufacturer card doesn't apply to you — free prescription discount cards can significantly reduce your Semglee cost:
GoodRx often shows Semglee prices in the $90–$180 range depending on your pharmacy and location. Simply search "Semglee" on goodrx.com, compare prices at nearby pharmacies, and show the coupon at checkout.
SingleCare offers competitive pricing on Semglee, sometimes matching or beating GoodRx. Check singlecare.com/prescription/semglee for current prices.
RxSaver (by RetailMeNot) compares prices across pharmacies and often finds Semglee deals in the $80–$150 range.
Additional discount card options include:
All of these are free to use and don't require insurance. Prices vary, so it's worth checking a few before filling your prescription.
If you're uninsured or can't afford your insulin even with discount cards, patient assistance programs (PAPs) may provide Semglee at no cost:
NeedyMeds.org is a comprehensive database of patient assistance programs. Search for Semglee or insulin glargine to find all available programs, including state-specific resources and charitable organizations.
RxAssist.org is another database that can help you find assistance programs based on your medication, income, and insurance status.
RxHope.com helps connect patients with manufacturer programs and other resources for affordable medications.
If you're on Medicare Part D, you're in luck. The Inflation Reduction Act caps insulin copays at $35 per month for all covered insulin products, including Semglee. This applies regardless of whether you've met your deductible.
Key details:
Semglee vials are typically $50–$100 cheaper than pen packs. If you're comfortable using syringes (or willing to learn), switching to vials can save you significant money over time. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about making the switch.
Many insurance plans offer better pricing for 90-day mail-order prescriptions. You'll often save 10–20% compared to filling 30 days at a time at a retail pharmacy, plus you'll make fewer trips.
Insulin prices vary widely between pharmacies — sometimes by $50 or more for the same product. Always compare prices using GoodRx, Medfinder, or other tools before filling. Costco and Walmart pharmacies tend to have lower prices on many medications, and you don't need a membership to use Costco's pharmacy.
If Semglee's cost is still too high, Basaglar (another insulin glargine product by Eli Lilly) may be even cheaper. Eli Lilly has capped the out-of-pocket cost for Basaglar at $35 per month regardless of insurance status. Your doctor would need to write a new prescription, but the switch is straightforward since both are insulin glargine. Learn more in our guide to Semglee alternatives.
Your doctor's office may have insulin samples from manufacturers. While this isn't a long-term solution, it can help bridge the gap if you're between fills or waiting for a patient assistance application to be processed.
No one should have to skip insulin because of cost. Between manufacturer programs, discount cards, the Medicare $35 cap, and patient assistance programs, there are real options to make Semglee affordable — or even free.
Start by checking your eligibility for the Viatris savings card at semglee.com. If that doesn't apply, try GoodRx or SingleCare for immediate savings. And if you're uninsured and struggling, apply for the Viatris Patient Assistance Program — it could eliminate your insulin cost entirely.
