Default Insurance coverage

Each company if different. Call them and ask which meters they cover. Medicare is not as bad, but only can ger 50 strips a month...so you might want to get a meter like Reli On (Walmart ) consumer reports they are very accurate and as good as major names. Strips are much cheaper. You'd need a perscriptionf from the doctor for whatever strips you buy to have insurance or medicare cover it. Medicare will cover more if you are on insulin and then if you have insurance as well they may cover it, but not if only on oral meds. Only Medicare will pay a portion and you get hit with the rest. County nurses may have free meters and starter strips as do some pharmacies.
