Medicare Coverage for Diabetes; What You Must Know

Diabetes is a common disease that affects millions of Americans. Also, it is the leading cause of disability and death in the US. There are two types of Diabetes: Type 1 and 2. Diabetes increases the risks of health complications relating to nerve damage, heart disease, and kidney problems. November is American Diabetes Month, and it is an excellent opportunity to find out your risk for Diabetes. Uncover the benefits of “Medicare Diabetes Coverage” during American Diabetes Month with NewMedicare. Learn about screenings, medical services, and insulin coverage under Medicare. Get valuable insights into managing diabetes effectively with Medicare’s supportive programs and resources

Risk Factors for Diabetes

Numerous conditions can be risky for diabetes development. Several risk factors include high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and a history of Diabetes in your family. Therefore, these conditions can increase your risk of Diabetes. Moreover, many people are unable to detect that they have Diabetes. However, you don’t need to worry because Medicare covers screening tests that can help you detect Diabetes. 

Moreover, if you are at high risk of diabetes or have pre-diabetes symptoms, you’ll be eligible for at least two blood sugar tests each year. If your primary healthcare accepts assignments, you don’t have to pay for these tests. Assignment means that your provider agrees to provide medical services for which Medicare pays. Therefore, you can ask your doctor about the free cost of Diabetes screening tests. 

Medicare Diabetes Coverage

If you are a patient with Diabetes, then Medicare can cover many of your medical services and supplies, including blood sugar test strips, insulin, blood sugar level monitors, and glucose level-controlling solutions. Moreover, Medicare can also sometimes cover therapeutic shoes if you suffer from diabetic foot problems. You have to pay 20% of the cost of these medical supplies and services. 

Medicare can also cover a diabetes management training program to help you manage your sugar level. The program will include guidelines for a healthy diet, a fitness regimen, staying active, monitoring sugar levels, drug intake, and tips to reduce risk factors. Moreover, you can consult with your doctor about the usefulness of this training program. 

Coverage for Insulin

Many diabetes patients take insulin injections to regulate their sugar levels. Therefore, if you take insulin, you can get Drug coverage. An open enrollment program starts in 2021 to help you with savings because you have to pay as little as $35 monthly.
