Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage and Diabetes
You may have heard that Medicare can provide coverage for drug prescriptions, but did you know that it can also cover prescriptions for diabetic patients? The advantage of Medicare drug prescription is obvious: the cost of your glucose home test kits and insulin are covered. For starters, diabetics will want to review the Medicare prescription drug plan, Medicare advantage plan and the various other Medicare health plans that have drug coverage. Medicare.gov allows you to compare various plans.
It is important to understand that Medicare works similar to insurance companies. You will have to pay a premium and the amount generally varies from plan to plan. In some cases you will have to make a part of the payment for the drugs that you buy (called co-payments). In case you are drawing an income below the specified limit whereby you are entitled for help, then you can appeal for help from social security.
