Medicare non-coverage of Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Type 1 Diabetics

There is a bill in Committee in the House of Representatives. Please review link and support coverage. Thanks,

If we all stand together, we can obtain coverage for those Medicare who need the CGM due to medical necessity. Any questions, let me know.

Added my support, and voice with a custom letter.

Thanks so much. This will benefit all diabetics in the end. If Medicare covers, I imagine all others insurances will follow. Thanks.

Sue from Pennsylvania (member Suebcool here)has written a blog explaining the bill and how to support it.

I have been contacting everyone I know about this bill. I found out about it last week. If you go to www.testguessandgo.com, under Sue from Pennsylvania, you will see a blog that I wrote titled “Join the Crusade” it will explain what I have been trying to do.

What medicare supplemental plan do you have? When Medicare denied us, our BCBS supplement also denied coverage. Did you get a CGM for just 3 days or to use continuously? Thanks for any information you can provide, Judy

I would also like to know what supplement you have. Could you get in touch with me. I would like to discuss this with you further. We have tried all different ways to get a CGM to no avail. I would like to know exactly how you did it and who your carrier is. I blog on www.testguessandgo.com.
