About Glucagon Emergency Kits and Medicare coverage
Glucagon emergency kits are prescribed for patients at risk of severe hypoglycemia — typically anyone using insulin or insulin secretagogues. A severe low (blood glucose below 54 mg/dL with altered consciousness) requires glucagon because the patient cannot safely swallow food or glucose tablets. Medicare Part D covers glucagon kits; Part B does not. Most Phoenix-area endocrinologists prescribe glucagon kits to every insulin-treated patient — if yours has not, it is appropriate to ask. Caregivers and household contacts should be trained to administer glucagon before a crisis occurs.
"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."
