Free Diabetic Supply

American Diabetic Supply would like to help Medicare patients learn about free diabetic supplies. Diabetics with Medicare and a supplemental insurance policy can obtain free diabetic supplies! These supplies normally consist of meters and test strips. While meters are a one-time charge, test strips can be rather expensive.

Medicare and Free Diabetic Supplies
If you are on Medicare and have met the annual deductible, Medicare will usually cover up to 80 percent of your diabetic supply costs. Your supplemental insurance will normally pick up the remaining 20 percent of your supply costs. What this means for those on Medicare is that virtually all their supplies are free.

However, it is important to keep a log book of your blood glucose readings, especially if you are on Medicare. Medicare will pay for a set number of strips. If you run out of strips before you are eligible for a refill, you need to be able to show proof of your blood glucose readings to verify you have indeed used your allotted amount and qualify for more. The level of testing must also match what your doctor has prescribed.

American Diabetic Supply works closely with diabetics on Medicare to ensure that everything gets processed quickly and accurately. All of your testing products will be sent to you in three month supplies. We will even file the Medicare paperwork for you once you enroll. Our service works well for Medicare patients who do not want to file their own claims, or those who do not want to drive to the pharmacy every few weeks. If you are a diabetic with limited mobility and are on Medicare, American Diabetic Supply's delivery program can become an invaluable service to you.
