The incidence of type II DM in Serang is quite high, there were more than 500 outpatients in 2018, with around 70-100 non BPJS patients. This research was conducted to non BPJS patients, in order to see the difference in the cost of using Oral Hypoglycemic Drugs (OHDs), namely Metformin and Glimepirid. Similar research has never been done by UPN Veterans Jakarta in Serang. This study was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional approach whose data were taken retrospectively. Subjects were non BPJS type II DM outpatients in 2018, aged 20-65 years, and adhering to treatment using Metformin and Glimepirid. The tools used are paper, stationery, computers, and printers. The materials used are patient data obtained from medical records, pharmaceutical installations, and finance. Data were analysed descriptively and tested its normality with Kolmogorov-Smirnov. The results showed the average cost of using Metformin was Rp 1,209,- while Glimepirid was Rp 1,228,-.
