ReliOn
Also known as: ReliOn Premier, Walmart Diabetes Supplies
Walmart's store brand blood glucose meter — an affordable cash-pay option, though not typically reimbursable through Medicare Part B.
ReliOn is Walmart's store-brand diabetes product line, manufactured primarily by Arkray. ReliOn meters and strips are sold exclusively at Walmart and Sam's Club at significantly lower cash prices than other brands.
The primary limitation of ReliOn for Medicare beneficiaries is coverage: ReliOn products are generally not in the Medicare Part B reimbursement system, meaning they must be paid out of pocket. For cash-paying patients without Medicare or with adequate financial resources, ReliOn Premier strips (about $9 for 50) represent genuine value.
For Medicare-eligible patients, going through a Part B-enrolled DME supplier for a covered meter and test strips typically results in lower out-of-pocket costs than purchasing ReliOn out of pocket — especially with supplemental coverage that eliminates the 20% coinsurance.
