Report Patient Problems with Medicare’s New Diabetes Test Supply Policies! Effective July 1, 2013, Medicare both slashed reimbursement for diabetes test supplies (DTS) by an average of 72 percent for retail pharmacy and banned community pharmacies from delivering DTS to seniors who are homebound or in assisted living facilities (ALFs). Many seniors may experience some disruption as both the providers and the specific equipment to which they are accustomed may no longer be available to them. Help convince the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Congress of the shortcomings in these policies! Encourage beneficiaries to air their complaints directly with CMS by calling 1-800-MEDICARE or by completing the online complaint form found here: https://medicare.gov/medicarecomplaintform/(X(1)S(ffgz0oimhbequl2hytyll2zo))/home.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
