Who Qualifies for the Sanofi Patient Connection?
If you use Admelog (insulin lispro) for type 1 or type 2 diabetes and struggle to afford it, you may be able to get it at no cost through the Sanofi Patient Connection program. For a single-person household, the maximum annual income limit is $60,240. This program is designed primarily for patients who have no insurance coverage, though Medicare Part D enrollees who meet specific out-of-pocket requirements may also be eligible. If you think you might qualify, the program is worth pursuing — Admelog can cost several hundred dollars per vial without insurance or assistance. You can start the process online at sanofipatientconnection.com or by calling (888) 847-4877.

About Admelog (Insulin Lispro)
Admelog is a rapid-acting insulin analog manufactured by Sanofi. It is FDA-approved to help manage blood sugar levels in adults and children with type 1 diabetes, and in adults with type 2 diabetes. As a mealtime insulin, it is typically taken around the time of eating. Without insurance or assistance, insulin products like Admelog can be prohibitively expensive, often costing hundreds of dollars per month depending on the dose and number of vials needed. That high out-of-pocket cost is why patient assistance programs exist — to help people who are uninsured or underinsured access the medication their doctor has prescribed.

Income Eligibility: Full Breakdown
The Sanofi Patient Connection program uses income thresholds based on 400% of the 2025 Federal Poverty Level. The table below shows the maximum annual income allowed by household size:
| Household Size | Max Annual Income |
|---|---|
| 1 person | $60,240 |
| 2 persons | $81,760 |
| 3 persons | $103,280 |
| 4 persons | $124,800 |
If your household is larger than four people, your income limit will be higher — contact the program directly at (888) 847-4877 to confirm the threshold for your household size.
Income is typically verified using your most recent federal tax return, a W-2 form, or three months of recent pay stubs. If your income has changed significantly since last year — for example, due to job loss or a reduction in hours — you may be able to submit current pay stubs instead of a tax return to better reflect your actual situation.
If your income is above the limit for your household size, you likely will not qualify for free medication through this program. In that case, see the "Alternatives If You Don't Qualify" section below for other options that may still reduce your cost.

What to Expect: Timeline and Delivery
Once your application is approved, Sanofi will typically notify you or your doctor's office. Approved medication is shipped directly to your home — you do not need to pick it up at a pharmacy or your doctor's office. Make sure your mailing address is correct on your application.
Processing takes approximately 7 to 10 business days after a complete application is submitted. If you are running low on medication while waiting, let your doctor know — they may be able to provide samples or suggest a temporary solution.
Your enrollment is not permanent. You will need to reauthorize your eligibility once a year to continue receiving Admelog through the program. Watch for renewal notices and submit updated income documentation promptly to avoid a gap in your supply.

Alternatives If You Don't Qualify
If you do not meet the income or insurance requirements, you still have options:
1. Biosimilar alternatives: Ask your doctor whether Humalog or Insulin Lispro Injection (a biosimilar) might be appropriate for you. These alternatives may be available at a lower cost or through their own assistance programs.
2. Savings card for insured patients: If you have commercial insurance, Sanofi offers a savings card that may reduce your out-of-pocket cost for Admelog. You can find and enroll at admelog.com/savings.
3. State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs (SPAP): Many states run their own programs to help residents afford prescription drugs. These programs vary by state and are often designed for seniors or people with disabilities. Search your state's health department website to learn what may be available to you.
4. NeedyMeds.org: This free, nonprofit database lists hundreds of patient assistance programs, discount drug cards, and state-level resources. Visit needymeds.org to search by drug name or condition.
