Free Diabetes Testing Supplies |
There are many online retailers that offer free diabetic testing supplies and shipping is included! The supplies you can get include glucose meters, test strips, insulin, insulin pumps and many more. You will need to check with your Medicare insurance or Blue Cross insurance to see if they provide for these supplies and what you may be eligible for. If you have a private insurance company, don't hesitate to ask them as well. Many of these companies will provide free testing supplies or at least help cover some of the cost. Even if you do not use insulin, the savings could really add up especially if you are currently paying out-of-pocket for your supplies now. How do you know if you qualify?
Each insurance carrier will have different guidelines to determine what each individual may be eligible for but in general, the coverage will include anyone with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes that need blood testing to determine what their blood glucose level is. They are often eligible to receive the glucose meter, test strips, lancets, and other diabetic supplies that are required on an ongoing basis.
You can search online and find many sites that offer diabetic supplies. To get the best deal, look for ones that offer free shipping and will send the supplies to your home. Look for one that also offers to send the supplies in regular intervals so you don't need to worry about running out. Some of the sites will also fill out your claim forms and submit them to your insurance carrier for you. Remember, the best sites will not charge you up-front fees and you should not have to wait for reimbursements.
If you can't find an online retailer that provides these basic benefits, move on... there are many more.
