Q:
|
Does Medicare pay for my diabetes test supplies, such as my test strips?
|
|
A:
|
If you have diabetes, Medicare Part B coverage, and if you test your blood sugar regularly, then yes,
Medicare provides coverage for your test strips, lancets, control solution, batteries and new meter.
If Medicare is your primary insurer, Medicare pays 80% of your diabetes test supply costs once your
annual deductible is met. If you have supplemental insurance, that usually covers your 20% co-pay.
Of course, any uncovered co-pays and deductibles will apply. Please call 1-800-931-1447 for more
information.

You will receive a statement for any co-insurance, co-payment or deductibles due after your
insurance reimburses AmMed Direct. For more information, please call toll free: 1-800-931-1447.

Do you accept credit cards for co-payments and deductible payments?

personal checks.

|
Q:
|
When my deductible is due at the beginning of the year, will you charge me that up front, or do you accept payment plans?
|
|
A:
|
We will be happy to offer a three-month payment arrangement. If you have Medicare, the law
mandates that we charge you for your co-insurance and annual deductibles. However, we’ll do our best
to make payment arrangements as easy as possible for you.
