You hear it on television all the time “contact us and you’ll get free diabetic supplies”. Is there any truth to these commercials? The answer oddly enough is yes. It is not a free trial period, or part of some other service you have to take in order to get the supplies. There are many companies now that offer these services to you as long as you have Medicare.

Perhaps you are also wondering just what exactly they will give you free. Well, for starters these companies cover just about everything you will need to manage your diabetes. They cover, blood glucose meters, test strips, lancets, gauze, and alcohol. Okay, so getting all this delivered to your door is a great convenience but there has to be a catch right? Well, not really.

Some of the other benefits you will get by using these services are the fact that there are no up-front costs to you. You do not pay when you order and with many types of supplemental insurance, you are apt to owe nothing. There are no claim forms to fill out, these companies bill Medicare and supplemental companies for you. They do not charge for shipping either. The fact they deliver to your door also means you do not have to go out in bad weather and stand in pharmacy lines.

These companies also offer personalized support from diabetic educators. You can call the companies and talk to healthcare professionals who specialize in diabetes education about things like your prescriptions, your meter or other things your doctor may order. It is seriously worth considering trying one of these services if you have diabetes and are on Medicare. After all, it is free.
