Bayer Diabetes Care helps patients save money, make life easier

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. Bayer Diabetes Care announced Monday the availability of the new Bayer Simple Saver Program, which offers qualified people with diabetes several ways to save on their out-of pocket costs for test strips, making testing more affordable and life with diabetes simpler.

“Bayer is launching the new Simple Saver Program to make glucose monitoring more affordable,” said Michaela Griggs, VP U.S. marketing at Bayer Diabetes Care. “Because the cost of testing supplies can become a burden during an economic climate such as this, we designed our program to offer more options to save on test strips, versus other programs available, to help alleviate this challenge and simplify life for people with diabetes. Now people can continue to test at prescribed levels with less financial worry.”

When a consumer qualifies, Bayer will pay up to $360 per year, depending upon his or her state of residence or health plan. 

The Bayer Simple Saver Program can be accessed by consumers via Web site which will be promoted through Bayer advertising, physician offices, online, through Bayer customer service and in pharmacies across the country.  Most consumers will be able to save instantly at the pharmacy counter in nearly all locations nationwide.

The program is completely free for consumers and can be used in most states, Bayer reported.
