Paying for insulin with Medicare

Close to retirement age? Not to worry! Medicare pays for insulin as long as it is used with an insulin pump.

I have never used a pump. Not sure I want to be forced to change when I’m 65

So fill the pump reservoir with water and let it spit water into a bowl that is sitting on a table.

And then keep using your insulin with injections.

You can bring the pump in and say, “Look, I am using it!”

You don’t really have to do what they say, as long as they think you are doing it.

You don’t use long acting insulin in the pump - so nice try
