Question : Is there any resources ou there to help people with diabetes to cover cost of pump supplies?
I am a diabetic that is currently using an insulin pump for my diabetes management and I have insurance but the insurance that I have does not cover the extra costs with the pump supplies, which is huge. I am not the only one with this issue I am sure. My fear is that I will have to stop using the insulin pump because of the cost which will take away the one thing that has made me feel like a normal person again or as close to as can be. I feel that there are companies making huge amounts of money from the people that have diabetes whom have no other choice but to make them richer because if they don’t they die, there just seems to be an imbalance there. So please if there is any one out there that might have any ideas that can be done with this unfair imbalance of the american way.

I would contact your pump company and see if they can speak with your insurance. Usually the insurance, if they paid for the pump, should pay for your sites and resevoirs. Tape I found they dont want to pay for since its not a “necessity” even though it is. But if Minimed, or who ever you go through speaks with the insurance they can usually come to an agreement for payment. Or even having your Dr. get involved helps cause if its Dr. prescribed, which supplies are, then the insurance should be covering at least some of it. I went through this at one point as well with my insurance, i had both minimed and my Diabetes Dr talk with the insurance and they started covering the sites and resevoirs again.
