Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Final "NO"
Just thought I would let you folks know that I received the almost, "Final
rejection" for the CGM that would go with the Medtronic's pump 530 G. I was
told it could be brought in front of a judge for a final "No", but the
insurance company has the right to deny this due to Medicare not covering
it. I was told that I can reapply for just the CGM if and when Medicare
approves the use of the CGM.
I really don't understand that when I started out looking into using a pump,
I was told that the insurance would not pay for the Medtronic 530 G unit.
That is the one that has the sensors and turn off if your blood sugars get
too low.
I was told within the last month United Health approved the Medtronic 530 G
for me to get. So I thought it was looking better for the CGM. They called
me last week and told me "No".
The salesman has not gotten answers to my questions and I am sitting here in
the dark feeling like I did when I went blind and I am giving the control of
my diabetes to someone else. It took 2 years for me to learn how a blind
diabetic can take care of themselves independtly as the doctors I went to,
didn't have any ideas.
I have an appointment with the indocrinologist in October and I think we
need to talk about all of this.
