About Blood Glucose Meters and Medicare coverage
A blood glucose meter measures the concentration of glucose in a drop of blood drawn from a fingertip or alternate site. For Medicare beneficiaries, a meter is covered under Part B when a physician certifies that self-monitoring is medically necessary — typically when the patient uses insulin or has a history of problematic hypoglycemia. The meter itself is covered once every five years; replacement strips and lancets are covered on an ongoing monthly basis. Most Phoenix-area endocrinologists write standing orders that allow the meter to be upgraded when technology changes significantly.
"I'm a veteran and was confused about whether VA or Medicare covered my supplies. They sorted it out with one call and billed the right payer. That alone was worth it."
