<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIf you have diabetes, getting insurance coverage for test strips is important. Although it may not be easy, there are ways to get the coverage you need. First of all, you can ask your insurance provider what types of supplies are covered. Many companies only cover certain types of supplies. For example, your insurance may only cover a certain number of test strips each month. In addition, it will not cover the strips you use on a daily basis. If you're not sure which types of test strips are covered, call your provider and ask them to clarify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you're on Medicare, you may be able to get coverage for test strips for diabetics. If you have diabetes and take insulin regularly, Medicare will cover your test strips as long as they are medically necessary. But you will need to find an approved supplier. Medicare Advantage plans are required to use suppliers that have contracts with the government. You can also purchase your test strips at a local pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Test strips for diabetics are often very expensive. In addition to the strips, diabetics need several other supplies to properly manage their condition. These include prescription drugs, glucometers, and diabetes education. Medicare will cover a small percentage of the cost of diabetic supplies, but only if you use an in-network pharmacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

You can even sell them online. However, before you sell your supplies, you should make sure that they are still usable.
