My mom lives in an Assisted Living Facility. She is diabetic and has become unable to correctly check her glucose levels. The facility charges $8 each time they do an accu-check on her; they do it twice a day. Will Medicare help pay for this? Apparently they pay for the insulin.
Take care,
Carol
Medicare will pay for the strips as long as she has a physician's prescription. Sometimes, it will cover up to 200 strips if the she is needing to check more than twice a day and of course the physician will have to state that in his prescription.
