Gloria — There’s lots of evidence here that Medicare does pay for the monitors — but your caveat, that one must JUSTIFY the use of a monitor, remains to be clarified. It does sound like something of a Catch 22, if it is nationwide, and not a caveat only where you are.
Frustrating, but definitely something to know more about — for people who DO have insulin issues and Diabetes Type 2 issues, this is no small thing.
I do want to know if this is hit-or-miss or a system problem.
I have it in writing that this is Medicare's rule that the advantage plan is following. I don't know if the administrative law judge only applies the fact to the rule or has room to say it's unreasonable.
I don’t know how such a “rule” gets changed or modified to work better, but it needs changing .. It’s not like any old person can just demand a monitor on a whim, but someone dealing with Type 2 and clearly managing it with their doc needs to have tools and resources to handle STAYING healthy, not just responding to declining status.
Sorry it’s sucky, Gloria. I guess we need better people in charge — Hoping we get them.

Good thoughts to you, Gloria
