Insurance Coverage for Diabetes Supplies

Many health insurance plans and Medicare cover much of the cost of diabetes testing supplies, including blood glucose monitors and test strips. If you are covered by Medicare, your benefits may entitle you to reimbursement for your purchase of TrueTrack®, Prestige IQ® or TRUEread™. If you are also covered by a Medicare supplement, the full cost of your diabetes testing supplies may be covered.

Medicare Coverage

Medicare is for those over 65 and others below 65 who are disabled. If you have diabetes and are enrolled in Medicare Part B, you are eligible for benefits for diabetes supplies and education. For complete information, go to Medicare.

Medicaid Coverage

If you have an income that meets government guidelines, you may be eligible for benefits to receive diabetes supplies and education under Medicaid. For complete information, go to Medicaid.

Private Insurance Coverage

The cost of diabetes testing supplies is covered by many private insurance and managed
healthcare plans. It's possible that a portion or all of your diabetes treatment and supplies will be covered under your plan. To determine your coverage, talk to your insurance provider or your company's benefits expert.
