Diabetes Insulin Assistance Program

Metro Health and H-E-B are relaunching the Diabetes Insulin Assistance Program beginning May 15, 2026, to help families manage the cost of life-saving diabetes medication.

This program aims to improve access to affordable insulin for individuals living with diabetes, ensuring that no family has to go without essential treatment due to financial barriers.

Eligibility

San Antonio and Bexar County families requiring financial help to pay for their insulin prescription are eligible to join. Proof of income, insurance, citizenship or other documents are not required to join the program.

How to Access the Program

   • You can either ask your healthcare provider to send the prescription to a participating pharmacy or fill it in person.
