Medicare Diabetic SuppliesIf you are a citizen of the United States and you have paid Social Security taxes throughout your life, you are eligible for Medicare when you turn 65. Certain individuals who have one or more disabilities may also find they are eligible for Medicare.
Bringing Medicare into the 21st Century
Medicare has been around since 1965 when President Johnson signed it into law. There have been few changes made to the system in the last four decades. All of this changed with the Medicare Modernization Act. This act is the first step in bringing the Medicare system into the 21st century.
American Diabetic Supply has worked with Medicare for years, helping diabetics obtain their diabetes testing supplies. We're encouraged by the changes being made in the Medicare system. Now, Medicare will cover 80 percent of your testing supplies. While insulin and syringes are not eligible to be covered, your test strips--one of the biggest and most often occurring expenses of most diabetics--are covered. Your glucose monitor can also be covered by Medicare.
If you're unsure of whether you diabetic supplies can be covered, turn to American Diabetic Supply to order the products you need and have them shipped directly to you. For your convenience, we will even have the Medicare paperwork taken care of, so you know that your claim will be accurate and filed in a timely fashion. We make it easy to get what you need!
