Guidance throughout the process

With NovoCare®, you get a dedicated Case Manager to help you through approval and other steps in getting covered by insurance.

Here’s an example of how the process might look:

1

After you and your doctor choose Norditropin®, your doctor’s staff submits your information to NovoCare®.

2

NovoCare® checks with your insurance company to make sure you’re eligible for coverage and passes the information on to your doctor’s office—the same day if possible.

3

Your Case Manager will call you to explain how we support you and answer your questions.

4

NovoCare® will also send you a Starter Kit in the mail.

5

Finally, you’ll receive your first pen and begin therapy.
