Medicare Patients
If you have Medicare as your primary insurance and have been diagnosed with Type I or Type II diabetes, Medicare may cover 80 percent of the cost of your testing supplies. These supplies include a
glucose meter, test strips, lancets, lancing device, batteries for your meter and also impotence devices.
*Please note that Medicare does not currently cover syringes. Medicare will cover insulin
only if it is being infused through an insulin pump.
If you have a Medicare supplement, you may qualify to receive your supplies at little or no cost.
You will only be responsible for your co-pay and deductible, if any.
CDS will ship a 90-day order of testing supplies and will obtain all the necessary paperwork
required by Medicare, including your physician’s order. We will complete and file all insurance claims for you.
Your member support specialist will contact you regarding your next order; we will not ship supplies without your approval.

No up front, out-of-pocket expenses
Free Shipping
No more waiting in line at the pharmacy for your supplies
