[Diabetes-Talk] medical insurance not covering CGM's

[Milton]

Hello,

First thing, you testing your blood sugar levels at least 4-times a day?

Do you receive Social Security benefits and have Medicare?

If you are testing 4-times a day, and are on Medicare, that is the primary
insurance that you want to use.

If you are using a spouse's medical insurance and have Medicare/Social
Security benefits you need to let the doctor know that you do have Medicare
and that they should process the request first through Medicare. Remember
this will only work if you are testing your blood sugar levels 4 or more
times a day.

Hope this helps.

Milton

Hello,
My doctor and I have been trying to get the Freestyle Libre 14 day system
but none of my medical insurance covers it.
Are there any other options?
I've tried for both the Dexcom and the Libre with no luck.
