About Diabetic Test Strips and Medicare coverage
Diabetic test strips are single-use reagent strips that react with blood glucose to produce an electrical signal the meter reads. Under Medicare Part B, insulin-treated beneficiaries qualify for up to 100 strips per month. Strips must be compatible with the beneficiary's covered meter — mixing brands from different meter families is the most common cause of prior-authorization delays. All strips we ship are factory-sealed and within six months of their expiration date.
"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."
