Are diabetic supplies covered by Medicare? If you have diabetes, some of the diabetic supplies you need are covered by Medicare Part B. The supplies that are covered in part include blood glucose monitors, test strips and other supplies. Medicare establishes the maximum amount that is covered for services provided. You have to pay 20 percent of the approved amount on certain supplies after you pay your yearly deductible. Medicare will provide coverage for two glucose screenings per year. Medicare Part B covers the testing for diabetes and some screenings if you qualify. To qualify for screenings, you must have at least one of the high risk factors. High risk factors include obesity, history of high blood pressure or blood sugar and a history of abnormal cholesterol levels. Their website has valuable and detailed information about supplies and services that are covered. Find a pharmacy that is enrolled in the Medicare program. The pharmacist will be able to answer questions about your coverage. You should also check with your state for programs that you may be eligible for that can help pay for diabetic supplies. Diabetes self-management training can be paid for by Medicare if you quality. Your doctor must give a written order stating that you are at-risk for diabetes complications. You have to pay 20 percent of the fee that is approved by Medicare. If you have Medicare Part D coverage, then they will pay for insulin and certain medical supplies such as syringes and oral drugs. You can choose original Medicare or Medicare Advantage Plan for your coverage. Original Medicare lets you choose your own hospitals, doctors and healthcare centers. The Medicare Advantage Plan, also known as Medicare Part C, works like an HMO and you must use the hospitals, doctors and healthcare centers that are chosen by Medicare. Medicare Part D is a prescription plan where you must pay a monthly fee. Private companies that are approved by Medicare run this plan. You can also purchase supplemental coverage that is known as Medigap from private companies. This coverage fills in the gap and pays for services not covered by Medicare. You can learn more about this program by researching their website.

The FICA -MC on your paycheck is a reference to the deduction for Medicare. The Medicare deduction should be 2.9 percent of your total earnings.
"Medicare Allowable" charges: Providers who participate with Medicare agree to accept the Medicare allowable charge as full payment. Bear in mind that because Medicare is an 80/20 plan, the patient is still responsible for the 20 percent of the allowable charges not paid by Medicare. * For example: You have chemotherapy in your physician's office and Medicare is billed $500.00 for the service. The Medicare allowable or assignment for your chemotherapy treatment is $300.00. Your physician is paid 80 percent of $300.00 or $240.00. You are responsible for only the $60.00 not paid by Medicare but considered allowable under Medicare UCR fee schedule. This is because participating Medicare providers may not bill the patient for the balance amounts above the Medicare allowable fee schedule (known as "balance billing"). It is important to verify that your provider "Accepts Medicare Assignment" or is a "Medicare Provider" to avoid unexpected and potentially large out-of-pocket expenses.

It really is not possible to define that in percentages. But think of it this way, the higher the deductible ( the amount you pay BEFORE the insurance company begins to pay ) the lower the premium. Just do the math, if you are taking a $2,000 deductible over a $1,000 deductible , but you are only saving $200 a year, it is not a good choice. You are basically putting yourself on the hook for potentially another $1,000 in deductible to save $200.
