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.
"Switched from a big-box pharmacy. Save $38 a month on test strips and I don't have to drive anywhere. The delivery person even asked if I needed help carrying it in."
