Is the Libre Glucose Monitor a durable medical device? Do I have to obtain sensors from my prescription drug program?
Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with this. If you could send us a private message, I'd like to have our team look into this for you. ~ Heather
BCBSIL contracts with Carecentrix for their DME supplies. Carecentrix number is 1-877-561-9910. my problem is that carecentrix said I was approved through my BCBSIL insurance. set everything up and shipped out my supplies. Now 3 months later BCBSIL is saying they are denying the claim to pay for them because they are experimental...WHAT!! Are you kidding me! I'm a type 2 actually I have MODY 3 and on glipizide. I need (depend) on these senors to manage my diabetes which goes low a lot. Now I can't even get more Libre sensors because the first set of supplies haven't been paid for!! BCBSIL you are hindering my health care that I'm entitled to!!
I was getting my freestyle senors from Walgreens & paying $75 every month & couldn't figure out my BCBS isn't covering them. I called BCBS and was told that they are covered under DME and gave me their DME provider which is Carecentrix who BCBS contracts through. Now they're covered through them.
