Does insurance cover diabetic testing supplies and equipment?

Most health insurance plans, including Medicare Part B, cover diabetic testing supplies when prescribed by your doctor. Medicare covers: blood glucose meters, test strips and lancets (quantity based on insulin use), CGMs for qualifying patients, and therapeutic shoes for diabetics. Coverage typically requires a diabetes diagnosis and prescription. Private insurance coverage varies by plan. Specialty Medical Equipment works directly with insurance companies to verify benefits, obtain prior authorizations, and handle billing. We help ensure you receive the supplies you need with minimal out-of-pocket expense.
