If I've had DKA before, does that help me qualify for a pump on Medicare?
Yes. A history of DKA, particularly pump-related DKA or nocturnal events, is strong evidence of medical necessity for an insulin pump or closed-loop system. Include hospital records and physician notes in your pump documentation package.
