Hi All, have a new health benefit option coming up from blue cross bllue shield of arkansas, it is a 500$ deductible for medical visits and copays, with 1300$ in the HSA ,

DME coverage is 20% deductible up until 2000$ is paid then medical supplies are covered in full.

This seems pretty good to me for dex and pod coverage, hell we'll hit that deductible by april...

anyone know if the insurance contract5ed price for dex is the same as cash price? we pay 299$ a month cash for both dex and pods ( each 299$)

anyone use bcbs?

We use BCBS but not in Arkansas. We have no HSA. BCBS contracts with each company, so the prices vary from cash price. In our case, BCBS pays a little over double the cash price for the Dexcom.

Yeah. The BCBS price will be different - may be more, may be less. My insurance pays 80% based on $339/month, so my copay is $67/month for Dexcom sensors.

that's pretty good, thanks!
