How Peripheral Artery Disease affects the need for Diabetic Test Strips
Peripheral Artery Disease changes the picture when it comes to Diabetic Test Strips.

Patients managing Peripheral Artery Disease often have more intensive monitoring and supply needs than the general diabetic population, which is reflected in broader Medicare coverage criteria for higher-acuity conditions.
Our specialists understand the intersection of Peripheral Artery Disease and Diabetic Test Strips requirements. We work directly with your endocrinologist or treating physician to gather documentation, submit to Medicare, and ensure your Diabetic Test Strips arrive without delay.
Medicare Part B coverage for Diabetic Test Strips
Diabetic Test Strips are covered under Medicare Part B as durable medical equipment (DME) when medically necessary. Coverage requires: a diabetes diagnosis, a prescription from your treating physician, and the supplies must be obtained from a Medicare-enrolled DMEPOS supplier.
With Original Medicare plus a supplemental plan, most patients pay $0 out of pocket for covered Diabetic Test Strips. Even without a supplemental plan, Part B pays 80% of the Medicare-approved amount — significantly below retail pricing.
